C Correct answer
Explanation

Francium is liquid at or slightly above room temperature (melting point ~27°C), though it's extremely rare and radioactive. Lithium melts at 180°C, sodium at 98°C, and cerium at 795°C - all solid at room temperature (25°C). Francium's low melting point follows the trend of increasing atomic size in Group 1.
