Answer 2

Answer:

A ) Zinc

Explanation:

Zinc can beaten into thin sheets because It is a metal and follows the malleability feature of metals .

And other options here are either solid (Phosphorus , Sulphur )or gas (Oxygen )

. As Oxygen is a gas it cannot be beaten into thin sheets because to be beaten as thin as a sheet it has to be a solid and Phosphorus and Sulphur are non - metals and are soft like butter . Non - metals break when pressure is applied on them .
