The highest grade of coal whose surface is shining and has the highest calorific value, is ________

A Anthracite
B Bituminous
C Lignite
D Peat

Correct Answer: Anthracite

The highest grade of coal whose surface is shining and has the highest calorific value, is Anthracite. Anthracite, often referred to as hard coal, is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic luster. It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.
