The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pyrolusite**: Pyrolusite is a mineral that is primarily composed of manganese dioxide (MnO2). It is known for being the most important ore of manganese. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options regarding the classification of Pyrolusite: - A) Sulfide ore of manganese - B) Oxide ore of manganese - C) Carbide ore of phosphorus - D) Chloride ore of zinc 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Sulfide ore of manganese - This is incorrect as Pyrolusite does not contain sulfur. - **Option B**: Oxide ore of manganese - This is correct because Pyrolusite is indeed manganese dioxide (MnO2), which is an oxide. - **Option C**: Carbide ore of phosphorus - This is incorrect as Pyrolusite is not related to phosphorus or carbide. - **Option D**: Chloride ore of zinc - This is also incorrect since Pyrolusite does not contain zinc or chlorine. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that Pyrolusite is an oxide ore of manganese (MnO2). **Final Answer**: Pyrolusite is an oxide ore of manganese (MnO2). ---
