D
It’s very brittle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metals can be hammered into thin sheets. It means they possess the property of malleability. Metals are ductile.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metals are malleable, meaning that they can be formed into other shapes, such as thin sheets or foils, without breaking or cracking. They are also ductile, which means they can be easily drawn into wires.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity.

Detailed explanation-4: -These delocalized electrons also make metals sonorous, which mean metals produce a deep or ringing sound when struck. Metals are malleable because of the delocalized electrons and metallic bonds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Malleability is the physical property of a solid to bend or be hammered into another shape without breaking. If malleable, a material may be flattened into a thin sheet by hammering or rolling.
