Solution

The correct option is C malleability
Malleability is a substance's ability to deform under pressure ( compressive stress). If malleable, a material may be flattened into thin sheets by hammering or rolling. Malleable materials can be flattened into metal leaf. Many metals with high malleability also have high ductility.
