Which of the following statement (s) are correct?
A. The valence shell electronic configuration of p-block elements is 
(except for He ).
B. The maximum oxidation state shown by a p-block element is equal to the total number of valence electrons.
C. The number possible oxidation states of p-block elements decreases towards right across a period.
D. The oxidation state two unit less than the group oxidation state becomes progressively more stable for the heavier elements in boron and carbon families.

Since, the total number of valence electrons increases towards right across a period, hence the number of possible oxidation states of p-block elements increases towards right across a period.
