Solution
The correct option is B Decreases As the oxidation number of a transition metal in transition metal oxide increases, the ionic character decreases. Oxidation number∝1Ionic character
Ionic character∝Melting Point
As the oxidation number of a transition metal in transition metal oxide increases, the melting point decreases.
