Solution

The correct option is C

Lithium


As we go left to right across a period, the atomic radii tend to decrease because of the increase in effective nuclear charge.

Lithium, fluorine, beryllium and neon are elements present in the second period of a modern periodic table with lithium being the first element of this period. Hence, among the given options, lithium has largest atomic radii.
