Solution

The correct option is C Due to configuration, metallic bonds are weak
Due to $d^{5}$ configuration, metallic bonds are weak. $d^{5}$ orbital is half filled as a result 3d electrons are more tightly held by the nucleus and this reduces the de-localization of electrons resulting in weaker metallic bonding.
