Solution

The correct option is C Metals are electronegative by nature
Metals have 1-3 electrons in their outermost orbit. They are present on the extreme left of the periodic table. They have the tendency to donate electrons and obtain the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. As they donate electrons they are electropositive.
