Solution

The correct option is B
Low Boiling Point

Metals exhibit the following physical properties.
-Lustrous (Shiny)
-Sonorous (Ringing sound)
-High melting and boiling points
-Hard
-Malleable and ductile
-Good conductors of heat and electricity

Since metals generally have high boiling points, the low boiling point is not a characteristic of metals.
