Match the ores (column A) with the metals (column B): (Column A) ores (I) Siderite (II) Kaolinite (III) Malachite (IV) Calamine (Column B) metals (a) Zinc (b) Copper (c) Iron (d) Aluminium

1. (I)-(c); (II)-(d); (III)-(b); (IV)-(a)
2. (I)-(a); (II)-(b); (III)-(c); (IV)-(d)
3. (I)-(b); (II)-(c); (III)-(d); (IV)-(a)
4. (I)-(c); (II)-(d); (III)-(a); (IV)-(b)

Correct answer: (I)-(c); (II)-(d); (III)-(b); (IV)-(a)

Solution

The correct option matches each ore with its corresponding metal: Siderite is an iron ore, Kaolinite is a clay mineral associated with aluminum, Malachite is a copper ore, and Calamine is a zinc ore, accurately reflecting their known associations.
