Solution

The correct option is C Alkali metals

The alkali metals show great variation in physical properties. They form unipositive ions. They have lower densities, lower I. E, lower electronegativities, high in atomic radii and highly reactive than other elements in the periodic table. All this makes their variation in properties.
