The answer is D. The cold fusion theory was first brought about by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann in 1989. They claimed that their unintended experiment has produced enormous amounts energy at room temperatures that could only be explained by cold fusion theory. The experiment involved the electrolysis of heavy water (with deuterium rather than hydrogen isotope) on a palladium (Pd) electrode. Their claims had brought immense attention by scientists, however, subsequent replicative experiments attempts failed and some discredited the initial experiment.
This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.
<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>
In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.
Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:
