The following is the introduction to a special e-publication called Determining the Age of the Earth (click the link to see a table of contents). Published earlier this year, the collection draws articles from the archives of Scientific American. In the collection, this introduction appears with the title, “Stumbling Toward an Understanding of Geologic Timescales.”
The answer is A.
A pure substance is pure, so it cannot be separated in most cases.
The material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite.
The aluminum can be extracted from bauxite ore by the process of Bayer process.
In the Bayer process, bauxite ore is heated in the pressure vessel along with a caustic soda solution (sodium hydroxide) at a temperature between 150 to 200 °C. At this temperatures, the aluminium is dissolved in the solution as sodium aluminate in the extraction process. After separation of the residue by filtering, when the liquid is cooled gibbsite is precipitated and then it is seeded with fine-grained aluminum hydroxide crystals from previous extractions. The precipitation take 7-19 days without the addition of seed crystals.
This extraction process converts the aluminium oxide to soluble sodium aluminate, NaAlO2, which afterward converted into aluminum hydroxide and then into aluminum oxide.
Thus, we concluded that the material which is used as source for commercial production aluminum is bauxite ore.

Answer: concentration
Explanation:
Concentration refers to the amount of a substance present in a sample. The more molecules of a substance present in a sample, the greater its concentration. The less molecules of a substance in a sample, the lesser the concentration. We are often concerned about analytically determining the concentration of a substance using diverse analytical methods in chemistry.
