Solution

The correct option is C either A or B can be used
The properties of any metal can be changed if it is mixed with some other substance to form an Alloy. The substance added may be a metal or a non-metal. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal. For example, when Iron is alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, nickel (metals) and carbon (a non-metal) a hard substance called as Stainless Steel is formed.
