The table lists some physical properties of two objects. Based on their properties, which of the objects is most likely a metal?

• Object 1, because it is a solid that is less dense than water

• Object 2, because all metals float in water

• Object 2, because metals conduct thermal energy and electricity

• Object 1, because it can be used to provide insulation for thermal energy
