The correct option is B
False

Volatile metals are refined by distillation. Most, if not all, metals can be converted into vapour if they are heated to a sufficiently high temperature. A number of metals, however, are readily volatilized even by relatively moderate heat; such metals are referred to as "volatile metals." For example Zinc.
