Solution

The correct option is C Carbon
Ductility is a physical property of matter, usually metals. It is the ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires. Non-metals are non-ductile in nature.
Out of the given elements platinum, aluminium and copper are metals while carbon is a non-metal. Therefore, carbon cannot be drawn into a wire.
