    A Silver Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Gold Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Tungsten Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Copper Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Tungsten has the highest melting point. Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3422 °C, 6192 °F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1650 °C, 3000 °F), and the highest tensile strength. Hence, option C is correct.
