Answer c is correct
(C) zinc is more reactive than tin
Zinc has a higher reactivity than tin. Tin interacts only with extremely strong acids. Zinc, on the other hand, reacts with simple acids found in food. As a result, food cans are coated with a less reactive metal like tin to avoid food poisoning.
