  2. which after their destruction are recycled to produce fresh steel
  3. which are deoxidised in the ladle with silicon and aluminium
  4. in which carbon is completely burnt
  5. which have poor properties due to improper manufacturing.

Correct answer: (C)
which are deoxidised in the ladle with silicon and aluminium
