Correct answer: B. Rather low tensile strength
- A. Very high cost
- B. Rather low tensile strength
- C. Very low strength to weight ratio
- D. Scarce availability

Aluminium has a comparatively low tensile strength in its unalloyed or common forms, although it is light and therefore can still have a favourable strength-to-weight ratio. Its main disadvantage here is not scarcity or high cost.
