Correct Answer: smelting


Solution : The correct answer is smelting .

Smelting is the process of extracting metals from their ores by heating them over their melting point. The molten mixture is then purified and processed further to produce steel. This covers the extraction of iron from iron ore, copper extraction, and the extraction of other base metals from their ores, such as lead and zinc.
