Among the options provided, gypsum is the sulfate mineral.

Gypsum is a common sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). It is widely found in sedimentary environments and is often associated with evaporite deposits, where it forms from the evaporation of saline water. Gypsum has various uses, including in construction materials, as a soil conditioner in agriculture, and in the production of plaster of Paris and gypsum board.
