General KnowledgeChemistry
- AGa, Sb, Pb
- BAt, Sn, Le
- CAu, Sn, Pb
- DAu, Sb, Pb
Explanation
The symbols come from the Latin names: gold = aurum gives Au, tin = stannum gives Sn, and lead = plumbum gives Pb. Ga is gallium, Sb is antimony and At is astatine, so only the Au, Sn, Pb combination is correct.
