(4) metallic because the valence electrons are mobile is the correct answer.

A property of a metal is that it’s an excellent conductor of electricity.  Metals exhibit "metallic bonding", where there are "metal ions" surrounded by a sea of mobile electrons. These free electrons are what easily conduct electricity.
