Solution

The correct option is A Sonority
Sonority is the property because of which metals make a ringing sound when struck. Lustre is the property of being shiny, malleability is the property of being drawn into sheets and ductility is the property because of which metals can be drawn into wires.
Wood is a non-metal and does not possess these qualities. Since metals are sonorous, they are used in making bells.
