State true or false.
Zinc is very less malleable. 

If a substance can be beaten into sheets, it is said to be malleable. In general, only metals are malleable, whereas non-metals cannot be. However, not every metal is malleable.

A substance's elasticity determines how malleable it is. A metal becomes more malleable the more elastic it is. In other words, a substance must be able to function under compressive force in order to be flexible. The alkali metals are not bendable because they are so soft that a knife may be used to cut them. Alkaline earth metals are likewise incapable of malleability.
Due to their capacity to function under compressive stress, the transition metals are generally malleable in nature. The metallic bond is strengthened by the presence of many electrons in the d-orbitals, and it only gets stronger as the number of d-electrons rises. However, this rule may have some exceptions.
Due to the element's position at the end of the transition family and the greatest number of d-electrons that its orbitals can hold, its atoms are inert, making the metallic zinc brittle at room temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
