Option 1: CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂: This is calcination (removal of CO₂). ✓
Option 2: Fe₂O₃·xH₂O → Fe₂O₃ + xH₂O: This is calcination (removal of water). ✓
Option 3: 2PbS + 3O₂ → 2PbO + 2SO₂: This is roasting (heating a sulphide ore in the presence of oxygen/air). ✗ NOT calcination.
Option 4: CaCO₃·MgCO₃ → CaO + MgO + 2CO₂: This is calcination. ✓
