✓ Answer: C Both statements are correct. Statement II is correct explanation of Statement I.
Metals are electropositive because they tend to lose electrons when forming bonds, leading to a positive charge. This is a characteristic of metals, differentiating them from non-metals, which gain electrons and are thus electronegative.
