Detailed Solution

Concept- Metals form positive ions due to high electropositivity.
When an atom loses one or more electrons, it changes into a cation, meaning that a positive charge is added in proportion to the lost electrons. On the other hand, an atom acquires negative charge and turns into an anion if it receives one or more electrons.
Metals are capable of forming positive ions due to their strong electro positivity and loosely coiled outer electrons. such that, as a result of positive ions, they acquire a positive charge and lose electrons.
Hence, the correct answer is high electropositivity.
