Which among the following are constituents of brass?
Detailed Explanation:
Brass is an alloy composed primarily of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). The proportion of these two metals can vary (typically 55–95% copper, 5–45% zinc), affecting properties like color, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
Other options are incorrect: Iron and zinc do not form brass; copper and nickel form cupronickel; iron and copper is not a standard brass alloy.
Therefore, zinc and copper are the constituents of brass, making Option 4 the correct answer.
