The answer is the third one: Lubricant for a ball-bearing joint for a large crane.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Steel used in the manufacturing of steel-radial tires: This is a direct material because it is a primary raw material used in the production of the final product (steel-radial tires).
  2. Plastic used in the covered case for an iPhone: This is a direct material because it is a primary raw material used in the production of the final product (iPhone case).
  3. Lubricant for a ball-bearing joint for a large crane: This is not a direct material. Lubricant is considered an indirect material because it is used to facilitate the manufacturing process but is not a primary component of the final product.
  4. A tire used for a lawn mower: This is a direct material because it is a primary raw material used in the production of the final product (lawn mower).

Summary: The lubricant for a ball-bearing joint for a large crane is not a direct material, as it is used to aid the manufacturing process rather than being a primary component of the final product.
