• C. Gallium
• D. Ice

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

Mercury

C

Gallium

Of all the metals in the periodic table, Gallium (29.76${}^{\circ }$C) and Cesium (28.44${}^{\circ }$C) have very low melting points and hence they can melt even at room temperatures (20${}^{\circ }$C to 30${}^{\circ }$C).
