Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because of its unique and useful properties. Titanium, a hard, silery white metal, is the second least dense `(4.5 g cm^(-3))` of the d-block metals. This combination of high strength and low density makes it a preferred mertal for military aicraft and nuclear submarines, where cost is less important than performance. The metal has more mundance applications in high-performance bicycle, frames and golf clubs.
