Answer: Lignite

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Lignite is yellow to dark brown colored coal which is considered to be the first true form of coal during coal production.
  • The shallow form of peats give rise to lignite and due to its low heat content lignite is considered to be the lowest form of coal.
  • The carbon content of lignite is generally 60-70%.
