A Correct answer
Explanation

Gold is significantly heavier than silver, with a density of approximately 19.3 g/cm³ compared to silver's 10.5 g/cm³. Gold is nearly twice as dense as silver by volume, which is why gold objects of the same size feel much heavier. This property makes gold valuable for applications requiring high density in addition to its monetary and ornamental uses.

AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of density. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. The substance with a higher density will be heavier.

Option A) Gold - This option is correct because gold has a higher density than silver. Gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm³, which makes it heavier than silver.

Option B) Silver - This option is incorrect because silver has a lower density than gold. Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm³, which is lower than gold.

Option C) None - This option is incorrect because gold is heavier than silver.

Option D) All - This option is incorrect because only gold is heavier than silver.

The correct answer is A) Gold. This option is correct because gold has a higher density than silver, making it heavier.
