                Titanium is very heavy in weight compare to other metal. And yes it is chemically reactive but challenging part is variation of chip thickness. Hence, I go with option C.

                Titanium is highly chemically reactive and reacts with almost all tool materials. So its machining is generally done using water jet. That's why answer B is correct.

                Machining operations of titanium alloys are considered to be difficult, due to its relatively high tensile strength, low ductile yield, Low tool-chip contact area.

                Titanium can chemically bond with cutting tools, causing built up edges on the tool, decreasing the effectiveness of the tool. So option B is correct.

                For better machinability of any material, low tool-chip contact area is better.
So, the correct answer is B.
                So, the correct answer is B.

                Generally, titanium material having less thermal conductivity. Hence this material is difficult to cut.

                Titanium produces non-homogenous chips. That's the reason option C is correct.

                Titanium is very reactive metal. So here option B should be correct.

                Titanium is high chemical reactivity. So the option B is correct.

                Option B is correct. Reference - Kalpakijan and Schmidt.
