Answer:Option B

Step-by-step explanation: The fluorite is changes its color because of the presence of different kinds of elements in it. Different types of impurities have been included in the crystal lattice at different places which makes it look so colorful.

It also exhibits the property of thermoluminescence, which means on getting heat it will change its color.
