Detailed Solution

The element used to make fuse wire should be made of a metal or an alloy of an appropriate melting point.

An alloy of lead and tin is used for small current-rating fuses. Tungsten cannot be used to make fuse wire because it has a high melting point. So, it would never melt as a large(very large) amount of current is required to melt it.
