However, an alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, and it cannot be considered a mineral. Similarly, while metals often occur in mineral form, not all minerals are metallic. Therefore, option B is incorrect. Finally, as per the definitions, option A and option C are incorrect. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
