Correct Answer: Praseodymium


Solution : The correct option is Praseodymium.

Praseodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Pr and atomic number 59. It is a member of the lanthanide series, which is a group of 15 elements located in the f-block of the periodic table. Praseodymium, like many lanthanides, is a soft and malleable metal. This means it can be easily shaped or deformed under pressure.

Praseodymium exhibits a silvery-yellow or pale greenish-yellow colour, which can make it visually distinct when compared to other elements.
