Hint- We will explain what bronze is first and then answer the question. We will also define what an alloy is in the solution. We will also write everything we know about bronze as done in the solution below.

Complete answer:

An alloy is a combination of a metal with at least one other metal or nonmetal. The combination must be part of a solid solution, a compound, or a mixture with another metal or nonmetal in order for it to be considered an alloy.
Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12–12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes nonmetals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon. These additions produce a range of alloys that may be harder than copper alone, or have other useful properties, such as stiffness, ductility, or machinability.
Hence, the main component of Bronze is Copper.

Note: You must know what an alloy is and all the components of the alloy asked in the question. Mention all the components first rather than writing the answer directly.
