"This model is the simplest model."
Reason: The electron-sea model is a simple picture of metals as positive ions surrounded by a delocalized "sea" of mobile electrons. It does not treat electrons as tightly held nor does it use band theory; it also does not explain all metal properties (band theory is needed for that).
