B. brittleness
Explanation:
Iron is a metal. Metals are malleable and ductile. They tend to have a relatively high melting point and boiling point. Metals are lustrous. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are sonorous.
Brittleness is the characteristic of a non-metal. So Iron is not a non-metal and iron is therefore not brittle.
Iron is malleable, ductile and sonorous.
Option B is the answer.
