      construction?
      A High density Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Corrosion resistance and light weight Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Low melting point Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Magnetic properties Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      β€’ Aluminium is chosen for aircraft primarily because it has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Being lightweight reduces the fuel required for flight and increases payload capacity. β€’ It also possesses excellent corrosion resistance because it naturally forms a thin, protective layer of aluminium oxide when exposed to air. β€’ It is highly ductile and easy to manufacture into complex shapes like wings and fuselage sections.
