Solution

The correct option is A Hydrogen can behave as a non-metal
Hydrogen can behave as a non-metal because it can accept one electron from another metal to complete it's 1s orbit. It cannot donate electron but can only share electrons to form covalent bonds. Therefore, it cannot behave like a metal. Also, it cannot behave as a metalloid.

Therefore, the answer is (A) is correct.
