Solution
The correct option is BSn and Pb Soldering is a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Soldering differs from welding in that soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. Solder contains: 63% tin : 37% lead : 2% silver. Hence option A is correct.
