Oxygen and acetylene cylinders are made of:

  1. Aluminum

  2. Steel

  3. Copper

  4. Plastic

The correct answer is: Steel

Oxygen and acetylene cylinders are typically made of steel because it is a strong and durable metal that can withstand the high pressures and volatile chemicals contained within the cylinders. Aluminum, copper, and plastic are not suitable for these types of cylinders as they may not be able to withstand the pressure or react negatively with the contents, causing potential safety hazards. Therefore, steel is the best option for oxygen and acetylene cylinders.
