B) Malleability

Malleability is a basically the ability of a metal to mold/bend/deform under pressure. A blacksmith, for example, would be able to mold a metal by heating it up and hammering it into shapes. When he does his, he takes advantage of the malleability of that metal. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are brittle and hard and not very malleable.
