Answer 1

Answer:

D.) The attraction between the delocalized electrons and the metal's cations

Explanation:

Metallic bonds form between free-floating valence electrons (delocalized electrons) and positively charged metal ions (cations). The negative charge from the electrons and the positive charge from the ions are what form the attraction.
