Best answer
Correct answer is (c) Water

Best explanation: The crucible in which the metal is placed is made of stronger materials that can resist the required heat, and the electric coil itself cooled by a water system so that it does not overheat or melt. The induction coil is cool to touch but the heat that builds is to be cooled.
