Solution

The correct option is C Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
Statement 1 and statement 2 both are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
When metals get converted to positive ions, they give up their valence electrons. These electrons can be described as a sea of delocalized electrons in the metal which can move throughout the metal.
These electrons conduct electricity. Thus, metals are great conductors of electricity.
Option A is the correct answer.
