Solution

The correct option is C Iron
Iron, is a very good conductor of heat and electricity. Iron refinery happens at very high temperatures to obtain pure iron. Iron can be shaped in various ways as it is malleable.

On the other hand Lithium has very low melting point, mercury exists in liquid state at room temperature and lead is a poor conductor of electricity.
