Solution

The correct option is B Silver
Silver is a soft metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is malleable and ductile similar to gold. However, silver content in ores mines in India is about 1% obtained as a by-product in the mining of gold and lead. Thus, silver is highly expensive to be drawn into wires for the industries.
