Answer: The answer is anthracite.

Explanation:

Anthracite refers to coal with the highest rank. It contains a very high carbon of over 90% and low volatile content of below 5%. Anthracite coal is much harder than other forms of coal and can be found in areas surrounding mountains or deep valleys. It is the most advantageous coal because it contains more energy and it is environmentally friendly because of its purity.
