Solution

The correct option is C

Carbon


Out of the given substances, platinum, aluminium, and copper are metals while carbon is a non-metal. Platinum, aluminium, and copper are ductile in nature, i.e., they can be turned into wires. Carbon being a non-metal is non-ductile in nature and hence, cannot be turned into wires.
