Solution

The correct option is D a, b, and c
The first set of characteristics states that Al is hard but S and Fe are not hard. This is not true because Fe, being a metal, is hard.

The next set of characteristics states that Al and S are not malleable but Fe, being a metal is malleable.

Next set of characteristics explains that Al and Fe are not ductile but S is ductile, which is also not true.

Finally it states that Al and Fe can conduct electricity but S can’t. This is a true characterisation.
