Solution

The correct option is B (ii) and (iii)
In a metallic bond, the metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged and these electrons flow around freely, forming an electron cloud surrounding the metal ion.
Example: Copper wire contains copper ions(positive) surrounded by the sea of electrons.
