Lead is malleable, so it can be pounded into flat sheets without breaking. How does the bonding within lead help to explain this property?

A
Metallic bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.
B
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are shared between two metal atoms, so the bonds are strong enough to resist the pounding.
C
Metallic bonds involve many valence electrons shared by many atoms, so the bonds can move around as the metal is pounded.
D
Covalent bonds involve valence electrons that are removed from one atom and given to another, so the pounding helps the electrons move.
