Hint: Each metal has its own properties and characteristics that are unique for it. For better understanding of the question let's first define these terms. By poor conducting metal we refer to those metals that are not the good conductor of electricity.

Complete answer:
Now also understand the term amphoteric metal, so by amphoteric metal we refer to those metals that react with both acids and bases to produce salts and water. examples of such metal are zinc, beryllium, aluminum and lead.
Now by the term Ductile we refer to those metals that are capable of being stretched into a thin wire without becoming weaker or more brittle in the process. Examples of the ductile metal are aluminum, gold, silver.
So, now let’s match these metals with their corresponding unique characteristics.
Poor conducting metal - mercury
Amphoteric metal -Aluminum
Most Ductile metal - silver, Gold
Soft metal – Sodium
So, this is the correct matching of the metals with its unique characteristics.
Thus on the basis of above discussion the answer is crystal clear and properties of each metal is understandable.

Note:
Metals like sodium and potassium are considered to be very soft metals. At some concentration, these metals are so soft that they can be cut with a knife. And metals like gold and silver are so malleable and ductile they have high tensile strength. Some metals are good conductors of electricity like copper while some are very bad like tungsten.
