Solution

The correct option is B carbon
Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with a small amount of carbon (about 0.05%) to make it harder and stronger. It is less corrosive than pure iron. Chromium is added to steel to make it resistant to rust. Nickel is added to enhance corrosion resistance properties in case of aggressive usage.
