  • B. an alloy of lanthanide and copper
  • C. an alloy of lanthanide, iron and carbon
  • D. an alloy of lanthanide, magnesium and nickel

Step-by-step solution

Mischmetal is a pyrophoric alloy typically composed of rare earth elements (lanthanides), primarily cerium and lanthanum, combined with iron and carbon. It is commonly used in lighter flints due to its spark-producing properties.
