Solution

The correct option is B

metal


Metals upon prolonged heating change into bright hot substances without burning quickly.

Metals exhibit a property as can be beaten into thin sheets and drawn into thin wires, this property of a metal is called Malleability. This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
