✓ Answer: D Both gold and platinum
Gold and Platinum are commonly found in their free, metallic state in nature. These metals are classified as noble metals due to their resistance to corrosion and oxidation in moist air. Gold is often found in nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits. Platinum can be found in some nickel and copper ores as well as in native deposits. Both metals have been historically significant due to their rarity and economic value.
