Solution

The correct option is C ore
Metals occur either in their native state or combined state called minerals. The extraction of the metal in an economically feasible way is done from its ore.
Example: Aluminium occurs in the earth's crust as bauxite and clay. The ore of aluminium is bauxite as it can be economically extracted from bauxite mineral but not from clay.
