• C. Brass
• D. Iron

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Brass

The explanation for the correct option

(C) Brass

Alloy

• A metallic alloy is a mixture of two or more elements that might be a compound or a solution.
• Example: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.

Brass

• Due to its better malleability than other alloys, brass is an alloy that is used to make scientific instruments.
• It has a very low melting temperature and good flow properties, making it a relatively simple material to cast.
• Brass's melting point is always influenced by its material composition.
• Brass has a look similar to bright gold.

The explanation for incorrect options

• The brass is used to make scientific instruments.
• Hence all the other options (A), (B) and (D) are incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is (C) Brass.
