Solution

The correct option is D
Gold

Native metal is a metal that is found in nature in a pure state, i.e., uncombined form. Gold is a native metal because it is chemically unreactive and it does not react with any substance to be found in the combined state. Lithium, calcium, and magnesium are reactive metals and are always found in the combined state in earth's crust.
