Solution
The correct option is A Iron
Metals can produce sound upon striking a hard surface. This property of a metal is known as sonority and the metal itself is said to be sonorous. However, Mercury is an exception as it exists in a liquid state at room temperature and cannot exhibit the property of sonority but is still considered as a metal as it shows other metallic properties.
