Solution

The correct options are
B Highly unreactive
D None of the above
Gold and silver are highly unreactive in nature and hence they are also known as "Noble metals". They do not react with oxygen even at very high temperature and thus maintain their shiny brilliance over extended periods of time. Due to this property, they are extensively used in the making of ornaments.
