Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Direct materials are those that are used in the manufacture of a product and can be physically traced to the finished product. Steel, fabric, and lumber can all be traced to the finished product, but glue is used as an indirect material to hold the product together and cannot be physically traced to the finished product.
