Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

"The gold" should be replaced with "Gold" as articles never come before a material noun so the article "the" should be removed. "Gold" is correctly used as a noun referring to the precious metal.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: " Gold is a precious metal."
