Correct answer: tin.

Explanation: Bronze is chiefly an alloy of copper and tin, while common soft solder is typically an alloy of tin and lead (modern lead-free solders are still tin-based). Therefore, the element found in both alloys is tin.

  • Lead – in solder but not in bronze.
  • Silver – not a standard component of either (except in some specialty solders).
  • Copper – in bronze, but not in traditional Sn–Pb solder.
  • Tin – present in both bronze and solder. ✅
