Answer: B
Asbestos is a family of naturally occurring silicon-based minerals.
Asbestos is a commercial name for six fibrous silicate minerals: chrysotile (white asbestos) of the serpentine group, and five amphiboles, including crocidolite (blue) and amosite (brown). Their fibres resist heat, which made them popular in building materials, but inhaled fibres cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
They are silicates, not carbon-based minerals. Selenium and tellurium are unrelated elements and do not form asbestos.
