B, C and E only. Strategy: Identify which of the listed transition metals are major components in standard industrial batteries (dry cells, rechargeable systems, etc.). Evaluation of Metals: - Manganese (B): Crucial as MnO2 (cathode depolariser) in Leclanché and Alkaline batteries. - Nickel (C): Key component in Ni-Cd and Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. - Cadmium (E): Historically significant as an anode in Ni-Cd batteries. Metals not primarily used in battery electrodes: - Iron (A): Occasionally used in specialized redox flow cells but not a "standard" battery industry metal. - Chromium (D): Not typically used as a primary battery metal. Thus, B, C, and E are the correct picks. {{Answer: (a) B, C and E only}}
