Answer:

A. Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pyrite is a combination of iron and sulfur, chemically knwon as iron sulfide, it´s called the fool´s gold because it has a golden colour and it´s metallic state often can be preceived as gold, but it is not used in jewelry because could be poisonous to the people wearing it, it´s main use is production of sulfur or sulfiric acid.
