Solution

The correct option is C Hg
In mercury, the binding energy of outer electrons (towards nucleus) is highest and no electron is available to participate in metallic bond formation. Therefore, mercury does not have a specific crystal structure and is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature with a melting pointof -38 degree Celsius.
