Titanium is the hardest natural metal in the world. It is very strong, three times the strength of steel and much stronger than gold, silver and platinum and yet is very light weight. Tungsten carbide is the hardest metal alloy on Earth and is scratch proof under normal wear. Tungsten carbide is two times as hard as steel and four times as hard as titanium.
Correct Option: D

A solar cell (also called a photovoltaic cell) is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Materials presently used for photovoltaic solar cells include mono-crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium selenide/sulfide.
