Example:
Copper is a metallic element and its atoms consist of metallic bond among their selves.
Options A, B, D are not correct as all states for a kind of ionic bond formation.
Ionic bond:
It form by the complete transfer of electron from one atom to other
It is formed among two atoms of different electronegativities.
Also metals are electro-positive and non -metals are electro-negative so they form ionic bond.
Example is NaCl where sodium is a metal and Chloride is non-metal and they from ionic bond.
