Answer:

B)Lead is a solid at 310 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The melting point of a substance refers to that temperature in which the substance changes state from solid to liquid. The melting point of a substance, which is usually a temperature value, is that actual temperature the change of state occurs.

According to this question, the melting point of Lead (Pb), which is naturally a solid metal, is 327.5°C. This means that LEAD (Pb) will only change to its liquid state at exactly 327.5°C and above. Therefore, at a temperature of 310°C, which is lower than lead's melting point, Lead element will still be a solid.
