Solution

The correct option is B brass
The gold leaf electroscope consists of a metal cap connected to a brass stem and a gold leaf which is housed in a metal case with glass windows to protect it from draughts. The gold leaf and the brass stem are insulated from the metal case by a perspex insulator.
Hence, the stem of the GLE is made of brass.
