Gold is mostly occurring in solid state in its natural form.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Gold is one of the noble metals used by aristocrats. It mostly occurs in the forms of grains or in the forms of rocks. Pure gold cannot be obtained naturally, as gold will be mostly alloyed with silver.

In natural state, gold will be the shiny metal with yellow or pale yellow color and it will be in solid state. They are malleable metal which can be easily mold into different shapes.So among the given options, the natural state of gold is solid state and not liquid and neither gas.
