The right answer is Be (1 287 °C).

Beryllium (Be) is a chemical element with the atomic number 4 and an atomic mass of 9,0121831 u. In the periodic table, it is the first representative of alkaline earth metals.

A bivalent element, beryllium is an alkaline-earth metal with a steel-gray appearance. It is light, fragile and toxic.

Beryllium has the highest melting point of all light metals. It is fragile, but lighter and six times stronger than aluminum.
