The iron-carbon alloys containing up to 1.7% carbon are called steels and those containing over 1.7% carbon are called cast irons. The iron-carbon alloys containing 4.3% carbon are called eutectic cast irons, above 4.3% carbon are termed as hyper-eutectic cast iron and those in the range of 1.7 to 4.3% carbon are called hypo-eutectic cast irons.

Eutectic cast iron with a carbon percentage (%C) equal to 4.3%.
Hypoeutectic cast iron with a carbon percentage (%C) from 2 to 4.3%.
Hypereutectic cast iron with a carbon percentage (%C) above 4.3%.

Eutectic CI having %c = 4.3.
Hypo eutectic CI %c < 4.3.
Hypereutectic CI %c > 4.3.

Eutectic steel %c = 0.8.
Hypo eutectic steel %c < 0.8.
Hypereutectic steel %c > 0.8.

Eutectic irons contains 0.8% of corbon. And the given range is higher than that. Hence answer is C. HYPEREUTECTIC CAST IRON.

The alloy containing more then 2% iron is know as 1-Mild Steel, 2-Cast Iron, 3-High SpeedSteel, 4-Low alloy Steel.

0- 0.8% c - Hypo eutectoid
0.8- 2.0%c- Hyper eutectoid
2.1- 4.3%c- Hypo eutectic.
4.3- 6.67%c- Hyper eutectic.

0-0.8%c hypo eutectic.

0.8-2.0% hyper eutectic.

2.1-4.3%c hypo eutectic.

4.3-6.67%c hyper eutectic.

For Cast Iron, the % of 'C' must be greater than 2.1.

So, I think that the answer should be D.

Dude hypo eutectic cast irons have 2-4.3% carbon. 0.77 to 2.1%C Hypereutectoid steel.
