The answer to this is Bauxite. Because Bauxite is a strong rock that is full of substance (chemicals) that when you scrap it against something it'll leave a streak

Answer is:
a. Bauxite

Step-by-step explanation:
Bauxite is an aluminum oxide mixed with many impurities.
Therefore, the bauxite plant primarily undergoes some processes to remove all the impurities and obtain pure white aluminum oxide.
This pure aluminum oxide then undergoes electrolysis to obtain the pure aluminum.

Hope this helps :)
