Correct Answer - Option 3 : Mercury

Explanation:
- Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically containing metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit.
- Cinnabar is the bright scarlet to a brick-red form of Mercury(II) sulfide (HgS).
- It is the most common source of ore for refining elemental mercury (Hg)
- It is the historic source for the brilliant red or scarlet pigment termed vermilion and associated red mercury pigments.

Hence we can conclude that Cinnabar is an ore of Hg.
