A
Correct answer
Explanation
Bromine is the only nonmetallic element that is liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Its physical state results from intermediate molecular weight and intermolecular forces - heavy enough to be liquid but not so heavy that it's solid like iodine. Fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temperature.
