All of the above

Coal based on the concentration of carbon content is classified as peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite. Anthracite is the grade of coal that has the highest percentage of carbon followed by bituminous, lignite and peat. Higher the grade of a coal, lower is its ash content and thus greater combustibility.
