Ductility is the ability to be stretched or pulled into a wire without breaking.

Ductility is the ability to be stretched or pulled into a wire without breaking.

• A. Ductility
• B. Luster
• C. Solubility
• D. Malleability

Answer: (A)

Ductility is the ability of a material to be stretched into a wire without breaking. That description matches the property of drawing metals into wires, which is what ductility measures. Luster refers to shininess, solubility is about dissolving, and malleability is about flattening or shaping a material into sheets. So the property described—being drawn into a wire without breaking—fits ductility.
