Solution

The correct option is B Metal
Metals upon prolonged heating change into bright hot substances without burning quickly. Metals have a property which helps them get beaten into thin sheets and drawn into thin wires. This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
