Solution

The correct option is A Alnico
Alnico is a family of iron alloys which in addition to iron are composed primarily of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), hence acronym al-ni-co. They also include copper, and sometimes titanium. Alnico alloys are very strong magnetic material, and are used to make permanent magnets.
