Answer:

D.) their valence electrons are free-roaming

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals tend to arrange themselves in crystalline structures once they form metallic bonds. The electrons around the positive nuclei are delocalized, and thus freely float within the structure. This is unique to metallic bonding.
