Answer:

o A copper-tin alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Bronze is composed by copper and tin. This means it is not a pure metal.
  • Bronze cannot be mined, so it is not a mineral ore.
  • An ionic compound of copper and tin could also be theoretically used to describe a non-solid ionic compound of copper and tin. However bronze is solid.
  • Hence the answer is A copper-tin alloy.
