A substance that conducts electricity, is malleable, ductile, and has luster would be classified as a metal.

Explanation:

Metal can be defined as the statement above or according to its position in the periodic table. Over there they can be classified as: rare earth metals, transition metals, alkaline earth metals or alkali metals. An example of a metal is the iron.

Metals conduct electrivity and heat wonderfully. They are malleable, wich means they can be changed its shape or hammered into sheets. They are ductile too, which means they can be drawn into wires.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
