My school is wack oo.. Impurities lowers melting point joor D is d ans

Generally, we all know that impurities lower melting point, but in this case, Carbon especially, increases the tensile strength of iron. This is exactly why Cast iron is stronger than wrought iron. Wrought Iron has lesser carbon content. So, I disagree with the answer.
