Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the meaning of each physical property term: 'Lustrous' refers to the shininess or reflectiveness of a material's surface.
'Opaque' means that a material does not allow light to pass through it, so it is not transparent or translucent.
'Conductive' describes a material's ability to allow the flow of electric current or heat.
The term 'Malleable' specifically describes a material's ability to be bent, shaped, or hammered into thin sheets without breaking.
Therefore, the physical property characterized by the ability to be bent or shaped without breaking is 'Malleable'.
