a. Stable
b. Chemical

ANSWER: Stable
 
Mercury is a liquid substance used in thermometers because it rises and falls very fast i.e it is reactive. It derives from Mercury, a Greek God and is associated with being extremely reactive. Being psychological or emotional is part of being mercurial. Though mercury is a chemical, it is definitely not stable. Therefore, (a) is the right choice.
