I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The following reaction does not proceed to form a product: H2O + Au---> no reaction because gold has a lower activity than hydrogen and cannot replace it. Hope this answers the question.
I think the correct answer is B. J.J. Thompson's Plum Pudding model had to be revised because atoms have protons and neutrons in the nucleus. He realized that aside from the electrons which are negatively charged, positive charge particles should be present to neutralize the charge of an atom.
Answer : The volume range in milliliters for the solution is 0.25 - 0.5 mL
Explanation :
We have been given that there are approximately 20 drops per milliliter of water
This information can be used as a conversion factor as 
We are using 5-10 drops of the solution.
Let us calculate milliliters in 5 drops.

Similarly, 10 drops would contain
solution.
Therefore the volume range in milliliters for the solution is 0.25 - 0.5 mL
