Solution

The correct option is D MgCO3MgO+CO2
The concentrated ore is heated in absence of air to remove water or moisture from a hydrated oxide and CO2 from a carbonate ore at a temperature below their melting point. This process is called Calcination and is generally carried out in a reverberatory furnace. CO2 is released from carbonate ore of Mg.
