Chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal and is most likely to possess the property of being a **non-conductor of electricity and thermal energy**. Nonmetals like chlorine typically do not conduct electricity or heat effectively.
The other properties listed (ductility, malleability, and luster) are generally associated with metals, which chlorine is not. Thus, the correct answer is:
**Non-conductor of electricity and thermal energy**.
