Gold's natural state has define shape and a define volume. what is gold natural state(s)?

Whenever gold is in the solid state, it has definite shape and
volume.  But there's nothing especially "natural" about that state. 

When a piece of gold gets warmer than 1948°F, it turns to liquid,
gets runny, makes puddles, and takes the shape of whatever you
pour it into, just like water. 

AND ... if that puddle of gold gets warmer than 5378°F, it
evaporates, becomes gold vapor ... a gas ... and no longer has
definite shape OR volume.

Gold happens to be solid at temperatures that are comfortable
for US.  But there's a whole world of things that we never see,
going on at temperatures higher and lower than we can tolerate.

The correct answer is c. hope this
