Solution

The correct option is B

aluminium


  • Metals are the ones which are electropositive in nature and have the tendency to lose electrons and form cations (positively charged species).
  • In earth's crust, nonmetal Oxygen (O) is present in maximum quantity followed by non metal Silicon (Si).
  • After Oxygen and Silicon, the element present in a major amount is metal Aluminium (Al).

Hence, option B is correct. Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust.
