Answer:
Option (b) and (e)
Explanation:
An alloy is a combination of two or more elements with at least one metal combined in such a controlled way so as to generate required properties like increased strength, reduction in corrosion, etc.
The major categories of alloys are:
1. Intermediate phases:
This is the phase where the property or the composition (chemical) of an alloy is somewhere in between that of 2 pure metals.
2. Solid solutions: It is an evenly formed mixture of substances in solid state. Where the solid solution may be complete or partial resulting in single and two or more than 2 phases respectively.
