The correct answer to this question is B, Enough to power a TV for 3 hours. Tin is a soft metal, which is used in several alloys. Tin is made of steel and sometimes they are coated with a thin tin. This coat of tin helps prevent food contamination and rust.

These cans are used in many common items in households, such as cat food and soup. At 88%, tin cans have the highest recycling amount. Many of these cans can be recycled at curbside recycling locations and some places will even give money for the act of recycling these items.
