Solution

The correct option is B Many atoms
Metallic bond is formed by sharing of electrons between many atoms A metallic bond is pretty different from covalent and ionic bonds, but the goal is the same: to achieve a lower energy state. Instead of a bond between just two atoms, a metallic bond is a sharing of electrons between many atoms of a metal element. Hence option B is correct.
