    Pumice Chalk

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Pumice is a light colored, extremely porous rock that forms during explosive volcanic eruptions. Due to its high porosity, it can float on water until it slowly becomes waterlogged. Chalk is a soft, white, porous rock. It wears away easily when rubbed, so it is used to write on blackboard.
