Solution

The correct option is D Metallic bond
Transition elements have high effective nuclear charge and large number of valence electrons.​Transition elements show metallic character as they have low ionization energies and have several vacant orbitals in their outermost shell. This property favours the formation of metallic bonds in the transition metals, and so they exhibit typical metallic properties.
