Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that most of the metals are solid at room temperature but with a few exceptions like mercury is a liquid at room temperature and sodium is a soft metal as it can be cut with a knife.

Also, metals are malleable in nature that is, they can be shaped into thin sheets.

But metals are never gases. Hence, we can conclude that at room temperature, none of the metals are gases.
