B) False

Iodine is a non-metal that does not have a metallic luster. Non-metals generally have a dull or non-reflective appearance. Iodine, specifically, is a dark, shiny solid that sublimes into a purple vapor when heated, but it does not exhibit metallic luster. Metallic luster is a characteristic of metals, which have a shiny, reflective appearance.
