Aluminium is a highly reactive metal and hence it easily reacts with the oxygen in air. This reaction results in the formation of a layer of aluminium oxide over the metal. The layer of aluminium oxide prevents further reaction of aluminium with oxygen. This makes aluminium a corrosion-resistant material. Moreover, aluminium is a good conductor of heat. Due to these reasons, aluminium is used to make cooking utensils.

Therefore, Option(4) is correct
