India possesses substantial reserves of heavy minerals predominantly located along its coastal regions and in inland placer deposits. These heavy mineral sands include a collection of seven key minerals: ilmenite, leucoxene (also known as brown ilmenite), rutile, zircon, sillimanite, garnet, and monazite. Among these, ilmenite (FeO.TiOβ) and rutile (TiOβ) are the principal sources of titanium. Titanium dioxide is found in various polymorphic forms, namely rutile, anatase (octahedrite), and brookite. The correct answer is:Β Titanium. Β
