The metal that does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid is copper (Option A). Copper does not readily react with dilute hydrochloric acid at room temperature. The other options, zinc (Option B), iron (Option C), and mercury (Option D), all react with dilute hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride salts and release hydrogen gas.
