Metallic elements are characterized by ductility, malleability, and the ability to conduct heat and electricity. Nonmetallic elements, on the other hand, are generally brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloid elements have properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals. Therefore, the best choice is metallic elements (B).
