Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The element belonging to carbon family or group 14 are as follows:- 
. The element 
are non metal, 
is a metalloid and 
are metal. The metallic character goes on increasing down the group. These element form covalent network in their molecule and in the downward series the metals also forms metallic bonding. Since covalent and metallic bond leads to high melting point and it decreases from 
to 
due to decrease in attractive forces.
