Solution

The correct option is A Roasting
Roasting is a process in which ore is heated in the presence of excess of air. As a result of roasting, the sulphide ore is converted into its oxide. Whereas, calcination is a process in which ore is heated in the absence of air. As a result of calcination, the carbonate ore is converted into its oxide.
