Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic bonds exist in the atoms of metals. mobile electrons exist in metallic bonds and are referred as electron sea.This is the property that makes metals to have a high electrical conductivity.

Electrovalent and ionic bonds are formed when a metal loses an electron to a nonmetal. covalent bonds exists when electrons are shared between molecules of same elements or of different elements.
