Solution

The correct option is B
Low Boiling Point

Metals exhibit the following physical properties-
a) Lustrous (Shiny)
b) Sonorous (Ringing sound)
c) High Melting and Boiling points
d) Hard
e) Malleable and Ductile
f) Good conductors of heat and electricity.

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