Q. The process of removing irregular portions of stones and fecilitating their easy transportation is known as

A. Quarrying
B. Reticulating
C. Dressing
D. Pointing

Answer: Quarrying

Quarrying is the extraction (stone or other materials) from a quarry.

A quarry is a place from which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate has been excavated from the ground. A quarry is the same thing as an open-pit mine from which minerals are extracted. The only non-trivial difference between the two is that open-pit mines that produce building materials and dimension stone are commonly referred to as quarries.
