Answer:
Quarrying is a method of extracting minerals that are close to the surface.
Therefore, the correct option is (c) Quarrying.
Explanation:
Quarrying is the extraction of rock, sand, gravel, or other minerals from the earth for use in building or other applications. So, a quarry is any labor done on the earth's surface to extract minerals. Around the world, quarries are also known as 'surface mines,' 'pits,' 'open pits,' or 'opencast mines.'
Quarrying primarily produces sand, gravel, and crushed rock for building, and these materials are sometimes referred to as "aggregates."
Quarrying is frequently associated with process plants, the most significant of whom are ready-mixed concrete plants, asphalt and bituminous road-making material coating plants, cement and lime burning kilns, concrete block and pipe works, the brick works, the pottery works, and the plaster/plasterboard factories.
