Open in App
Solution

Answer: Copper.

The metals copper, silver gold, and platinum are less reactive than even hydrogen.
Iron is more reactive than copper as copper has less outer shells than iron, so copper is less likely to react with another element as it has a stronger hold over the electrons.
