C Correct answer
Explanation

Tin's chemical symbol is Sn, from its Latin name 'Stannum'. This is confusing because 'Sn' doesn't resemble 'Tin'. Common errors include confusing it with Ti (Titanium), Tn (not a standard element symbol), or Si (Silicon). The key is to memorize that Tin = Sn from Stannum.
