Bronze is an alloy of
(1) Copper and Zinc
(2) Tin and Zinc
(3) Copper and Tin
(4) Iron and Zinc
Answer: (3) Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive. It is hard and tough, and it was particularly significant in antiquity, so much that the Bronze Age was named after the metal. However, historical pieces were often made interchangeably of bronzes or brasses with different compositions, so the modern museum and scholarly descriptions of older objects increasingly use the more inclusive term “copper alloy” instead. Historically the term latten was used for such alloys.
