    non-ferrous metal

    B.

    ferrous metal

    C.

    non-metal

    type of steel

    Correct option is A


    Zinc is classified as a non-ferrous metal because it does not contain iron (Fe) and does not rust like ferrous metals.
    Key Properties of Zinc:
    · Corrosion-resistant: Commonly used for galvanizing steel to prevent rusting.
    · Low melting point (419.5°C): Suitable for die-casting applications.
    · Lightweight & Malleable: Used in alloys like brass (copper + zinc).
