Answer
A
shininess
B
malleability
C
ductility
D
conductivity

Malleability is the ability of a material to be shaped by hammering or pressing. Since Justin is using a hammer to form the tin into a statue, tin’s malleability lets him make an interesting shape. Ductility, in contrast, is the ability to be drawn into wires.
