Step 1. A -- Cyanide process: Section 1.2.3 describes cyanide leaching as the method used to extract/concentrate GOLD (4Au + 8CN- + O2 + 2H2O -> 4[Au(CN)2]- + 4OH-), so A matches (iv) Extraction of Au.

Step 2. B -- Froth floatation process: Section 1.2.2 names galena (PbS) and zinc blende (ZnS) as the sulphide ores this method concentrates, so B matches (ii) Dressing of ZnS.

Step 3. C -- Electrolytic reduction: Section 1.5.1 is the Hall-Heroult electrolytic process specifically for aluminium, so C matches (iii) Extraction of Al. …
