What does it mean that valence electrons in a metal are delocalized?

In a metal, valence electrons are not confined to one atom. They can move throughout the metal and are shared among many atoms, occupying orbitals that extend between them. This is the meaning of delocalized electrons, so choice A is correct; they do not move into the air or between inner and outer orbitals of each atom.
