Option 3 : Anthracite

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. Anthracite.

  • Anthracite is a dark black form of coal and the highest quality coal which has low moisture content and carbon content of nearly 95%.
  • Bituminous is the most abundant type of coal and the second highest quality of coal with carbon content that ranges from 76-86%.
  • Metallurgical coal or coking coal is a grade of coal that can be used to produce good-quality coke, which is an essential fuel and reactant in the blast furnace process for primary steelmaking.
  • Lignite is brown in colour and the lowest quality of coal with a carbon content that ranges from 65-70%.
