Properties of materials

The table below shows the physical properties of four different substances: $A\mathbf{A}$ , $B\mathbf{B}$ , $C\mathbf{C}$ , and $D\mathbf{D}$ .

Substance	Melting point ( $∘C^\circ\text{C}$ )	Boiling point ( $∘C^\circ\text{C}$ )	Soluble in water?	Conducts electricity in solid state?	Conducts electricity in molten state?
$A\mathbf{A}$	$114$	$184$	No	No	No
$B\mathbf{B}$	$770$	$1420$	Yes	No	Yes
$C\mathbf{C}$	$1710$	$2230$	No	No	No
$D\mathbf{D}$	$327$	$1749$	No	Yes	Yes

Identify which substance is a liquid at a temperature of $150∘C150^\circ\text{C}$ .
