The answer is given as (a). I want to know the reason. It is a boson. Why can't it form a Bose-Einstein condensate?

I am amazed. I had no idea spin polarized hydrogen could exist.

The answer is not (a).

Edit: To prove that it can't be (a), see Bose-Einstein Condensation of Atomic Hydrogen
 
So (d) would be the correct answer?
 
Yes, because it is the only atom in the list with an even number if nucleons and an odd number of electrons an hence a fermion.

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
