A Correct answer
Explanation

Iron is the correct answer. The Eiffel Tower is constructed from puddled iron (wrought iron), not steel. When built in 1889, iron was chosen for its strength and workability. The tower contains approximately 7,300 tons of iron and requires regular maintenance with paint to prevent rusting.
