Solution

The correct option is C
Gallium

Of all the metals in the periodic table, Gallium (29.76 $^{\circ}$ C) and Cesium (28.44 $^{\circ}$ C) have very low melting points and hence they can melt even at room temperatures (20 $^{\circ}$ C to 30 $^{\circ}$ C).

Mercury is a liquid at room temperature.
