Solution
Zinc amalgam
Explanation:
An alloy that contains mercury as one of its primary components is specifically classified as an amalgam. Zinc amalgam is a metallic mixture formed by combining zinc with liquid mercury. The other choices are incorrect because stainless steel consists of iron, chromium, and nickel; solder is made of lead and tin; and duralumin is an aluminium-based alloy.
