• C. solid solution of two immiscible metals
• D. both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D both A and B

Generally, an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and which exhibits metallic bonding characteristics. It may be either homogeneous (eg a solid solution; i.e. single phase; e.g brass) or heterogeneous ( a mixture of metallic phases e. g. Steel— the iron/carbon system)
