Solution

The correct option is C Aluminium
Aluminium is highly malleable thus it can form any shape. Aluminium foil provides a complete barrier to light, oxygen, moisture and bacteria. This protective quality has made it the most versatile packaging material for food items. It is also used for packaging minerals. Also, aluminium foil, aluminium cans and other aluminium packaging materials can be recycled and reused an infinite number of times. Thus the correct answer is option A.
