A Correct answer
Explanation

Platinum is one of the rarest precious metals, with estimates suggesting that about 10 tons of ore must be processed to yield just one ounce of pure platinum. This extreme rarity contributes to its high value. The 'two million pounds of ore for one pound of metal' figure is approximate but illustrates platinum's exceptional scarcity compared to gold or silver.
