The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Aluminium**: Aluminium is a lightweight metal known for its low density, which is approximately 2.7 g/cm³. This property makes it suitable for various applications. 2. **Identifying Applications**: We need to analyze the options provided to determine which items are commonly made from aluminium. 3. **Evaluating Option A**: The first option mentions "wires and bulb filaments." While aluminium can be used for wires, it is not typically used for bulb filaments, which are usually made of tungsten. 4. **Evaluating Option B**: The second option states "tanks and magnets." Aluminium is not commonly used for magnets, and while it can be used in tanks, this option does not fully represent its common uses. 5. **Evaluating Option C**: The third option lists "drinks, cans, foils, and aeroplanes." Aluminium is widely used for making drink cans due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. It is also used for food foils and in the construction of aeroplanes. 6. **Evaluating Option D**: The last option mentions "food containers and tooth fillings." While aluminium can be used in food containers, it is not typically used for tooth fillings, which are generally made from dental amalgam or composite materials. 7. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all options, the most accurate and comprehensive answer is Option C: "drinks, cans, foils, and aeroplanes." **Final Answer**: C - drinks, cans, foils, and aeroplanes. ---
