Answer
Potassium (K) has the maximum metallic character as potassium belongs to the group 4 whereas sodium belongs to group 3 & lithium belongs to group 2, On moving down the group the metallic character increases. So, among Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), and Potassium (K), Potassium (K) has the maximum metallic character.
