Solution

The correct option is D T
The reactivity series for the given metals (P, Q, R, S and T) is:
P > Q > R > S > T

T is least reactive metal in the given reactivity series which means it has least tendency to react with another element to form a compound.
Therefore, T is most likely to occur in free state in nature.
