Answer: A) magnesium


Explanation:

Magnesium is a metal which has luster. It is malleable and ductile as most of the metal. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It is solid at room temperature.

Rest of others do not have the listed properties .

As mercury is not malleable and ductile as it is a liquid metal.

Neon is noble gas. Phosphorus is a non-metal, cannot beaten up to make sheets.
