• A metal's ductility refers to its ability to be converted into thin wires.
• Gold, as we all know, is the most ductile metal known to man.
• Until now, gold has been the most malleable metal.

Explanation for the incorrect option:

(a) Silver

Silver is a ductile metal as well. Gold, on the other hand, is the most ductile metal.

(b) Platinum

The most ductile metals on the planet are gold and platinum. Gold, on the other hand, is slightly more ductile than platinum.
