Alkali metals are generally soft and can be cut with a knife except for Lithium, This is due to weaker cohesive forces between them or weak metallic bonding. 


While d- block elements have stronger metallic bondings and generally can not be cut with a knife. 

 K, Na, and Ca are soft metals and can be cut with a knife. Ti is a d-block element and hard enough that it can not be cut with a knife 

The correct answer is option 4.
