    Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    Metalloids are the substances or elements that show properties of both metals and non-metals.

    Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have shiny surface and can be drawn into thin wires and sheets.

    Whereas non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. They are brittle in nature and are not shiny.

    Similarly, metalloids are shiny but they are brittle at the same time with a relatively good electrical conductivity.

    Thus, we can conclude that the statement, metalloids have properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals, is true about metalloids.
