To make 1 sedan, it requires 4 tires, 1 main chassis, and 5 lithium ion batteries.
Therefore, with the given resources, we can make the following number of sedans:
- Tires: 17 / 4 = 4 (rounding down to nearest whole number)
- Chassis: 5 / 1 = 5
- Batteries: 22 / 5 = 4 (rounding down to nearest whole number)
The limiting factor is the number of batteries, as we can only make 4 sedans with the given 22 batteries. Therefore, the answer is C) 4.
