Solution

The correct option is C Bauxite

  • Bauxiteis actually not a mineral. It is a rock formed from a laterite soil that has been severely leached of silica and other soluble materials in a wet tropical or subtropical climate. Aluminum is extracted from this ore.
  • Largest producer of bauxite is Australia.
