Solution

The correct option is B Metallic bonding
Metals (metallic bonds) have these physical properties-

1) Metals reflect the photons of the visible spectrum (light) falling on their surface, thus metals are often silver-white or greyish with the characteristic specular reflection of metallic lustre.
2) The electrical conductivity of metals decreases with a rise in temperature.
3) Metals have a high melting point.
