    Correct option is D


    Lapping is a precision finishing process used to achieve smooth surfaces and tight tolerances. The most commonly used abrasive for lapping soft ferrous and non-ferrous metals is Aluminium Oxide (Al₂O₃) because:
    · It has moderate hardness and is not too aggressive, making it ideal for soft metals.
    · It provides a uniform finish with minimal material removal.
    · It is commonly used in lapping, polishing, and grinding applications.
