Zinc
Explanation:
- In the given elements, Phosphorus, Sulphur and Oxygen are non-metals. All non-metals are not malleable and ductile. So they cannot be beaten into thin sheets.
- Zinc is a lustrous metal, malleable and ductile in nature. It can be hammered into thin sheets.
- It is brittle at ambient temperatures but is malleable at 100 to 150°C.
- Zinc is good conductor of electricity. The elasticity and malleability of the Zinc increases when it is heated to 100 °C.
- Hence, Zinc is the correct option.
