The correct answer is:
Aluminium
Correct Option is 3 Aluminium
Aluminium can be extracted by Hall's process.
The ore is first converted into pure aluminium oxide by the Bayer Process, and this is then electrolysed in solution in molten cryolite - another aluminium compound.
The aluminium oxide has too high a melting point to electrolyse on its own. The usual aluminium ore is bauxite.
