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 the 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.
