Solution

The correct option is B copper and tin
Answer:- (A) copper and tin
Explanation:-
Bell metal is a hard alloy used for making bells and related instruments, such as cymbals. It is a form of bronze with a higher tin content, usually in approximately a 4:1 ratio of copper to tin. The higher tin content increases the rigidity of the metal, and increases the resonance.
