Coal is used in many industries because it can act as a fuel.

In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity.

Its appearance, smell and color has nothing to do with industrial use.

So, the correct answer is - 'It can act as a fuel'.
