Solution

The correct options are
A Zinc
D Iron
Sonority is the property of a material to make ringing sound on being hit. Generally, metals are sonorous. Mercury is liquid at room temperature and carbon is a non-metal. They both are non-sonorous in nature. Thus, zinc and iron are sonorous while carbon and mercury are non-sonorous.
