Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or of a metal with a non-metal such as steel (iron with carbon), so (A) and (B) hold. Being homogeneous, its components cannot be separated physically, so (C) holds. (D) fails because brass is copper and zinc, not zinc and tin.
