Answer:

The metal is C) mercury.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercury is a compound component with the symbol Hg and nuclear number 80. It is initially known as hydrargyrum. An overwhelming, brilliant d-square component, mercury is the main metallic component that is fluid at standard conditions for temperature and weight.
