Answer 2

Silver is the most ductile metal

Explanation:

Ductility is the ability of the material to undergo significant deformation before rupture.

Silver is the most ductile among the given list of metals. It is also extremely soft and malleable. However gold is more malleable than silver. Silver has the greatest electrical conductivity of all metals. However, the metal is expensive, and hence not widely used in electronics as copper and aluminium.
