    The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a "d"orbital.

    Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.

    These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals.
