Solution

The correct option is A Valence shell electrons and the metal ions
In a metal atom, the valence electrons are loosely held and can easily be detached.
In a metallic body, the detached electrons roam freely throughout the body of the metal, all the metal atoms are bound together with the strong force of attraction between valence electrons and the metal ions.
This is called "Metallic Bonding".
