Does this work on a road bike or is it specifically for a mountain bike?
The seller said that he mistakenly bought it for a road bike when it’s really for a mountain bike.

Cassettes are cassettes. The gearing may be easier than he wants but it should work
Will work on a road bike, BUT you’ll need to check your rear derailleur can work with 34t big cog and will have enough capacity to work with the increased range

Depends on your derailleur really. If it can shift a 34 it can shift a 34
Doesn’t matter whether it’s mountain or road. They’ll both use the same free hub body. The derailleur makes the most difference in terms of tooth capacity.
That being said, this is definitely a road bike cassette. MTB cassettes usually have more teeth on the largest cogs. If your road bike is 10 speed this’ll work.
Just make sure your hub is the right size. Which it should be if it’s relatively modern.
Yes it should work. It actually looks more like a road bike cassette as 10 speed Mnt. Bike cassettes are usually ratioed much broader for 1x setups unless it was vintage with a 3x and then you would likely not have a cassette more than 8 speed.
Shimano 10 speed cassette spacing is the same between road and MTB components. This is not the case for 11 and 12 speed.
So, do MTB cassettes work on road bikes? Sometimes. In this case, yes.
As long as you’re running Shimano compatible free hub Yes. It’s compatible with the chainring sizes and it’s got HG in the name, which stands for Hyper Glide. This is the attachment standard Shimano uses for the free hub. It’s almost universal, with exceptions for SRAM and Campagnolo.
