Solution

The correct option is A X–Gallium (Ga); Y–Metal; Z–Lustrous
  • Iodine is the only lustrous (Z) non-metal.
  • Metals (Y) like potassium and sodium are so soft that they can be cut with a knife. They have low densities and low melting points.
  • Gallium (X) (M.P–29.76 °C) having a very low melting point, can melt even at room temperature.
