Solution

The correct option is B

It is present at the bottom of activity series


The elements which are present at the bottom of the activity series are least reactive. Therefore these elements do not combine with other elements and are generally found in free state only. Gold is placed in the bottom part of the activity series and hence it is one of the least rective metals.
