Piglet · Answer 1

A conducting electricity

Explanation:

The "electron sea" allows the current to flow across the electrons. If the electrons were stuck in their positions, these metals would be better insulators than conductors because they couldn't spread (or conduct) the energy as electricity.

B, C, and D are all not things directly caused by the delocalized electrons.
