Solution

The correct option is A sonority
Ductility is the property of a metal by virtue of which it can be drawn into wires. For example, copper and aluminium are both malleable and ductile. Sonority is the characteristic of a metal to emit a deep resonant sound when struck. Metals are sonorous and some are used for making bells.
