Solution

The correct option is A Anthracite
The carbon content of coal is determined by how long the coal has undergone coalification (conversion of organic matter into coal). Anthracite is a grade of coal that is found deep in the earth's crust and has undergone coalification the most. Hence, it has the highest percentage of carbon.
