Right answer is (d) Mine-dust, rock trailing
To explain I would say: The high-volume material generated during processes of extraction, beneficiation, and further physical and chemical processing of metals and non-metals is known as mining waste. Mine-dust, rock trailing, toxic metals, etc. are included in mine waste.
