Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Electric battery

Explanation

Zinc is used in electric batteries: the outer case of a dry cell (Leclanché cell) is zinc and serves as its negative electrode, and alkaline cells use zinc powder.

Zinc also galvanises iron and goes into alloys such as brass. Steel, furniture and buses are not made of zinc.
