Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the Ziegler case and the metal case?

• A. Ziegler case denotes a wooden casket in practice
• B. Ziegler case is a brand used to refer to a metal case
• C. Ziegler case is a decorative urn
• D. Ziegler case is a plastic container

Answer: (B)

In this area, you’re looking at how a brand name can become a generic term for a product type. Ziegler was a well-known maker of metal caskets, and over time people started using “Ziegler case” to refer to a metal casket in general, not just one from that brand. So the relationship is brand used to denote a metal case. The other options don’t fit because the term is not describing a wooden casket, a decorative urn, or a plastic container; it specifically points to a metal casket associated with the Ziegler brand.
