Solution

The correct option is C Metallic character of X is greater than that of Y.

More number of protons means more nuclear charge.

As a result more pull of the nucleus to the electron. Thus the metallic character will be less.

As X has a lesser number of protons than Y.

So, the metallic character of X > the metallic character of Y.
