Solution
The correct option is A Gold Gold is a highly ductile metal as only 1 g of gold can be drawn into wire of length 2 km. A single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become semi-transparent. Besides this, it is also the most malleable substance known.
