Solution
The correct option is A Increases one by one from IA to VIIA Correct option is A. Since oxygen is more electronegative element so it will form oxide with elements of group IA to VIIA in their maximum oxidation state. Maximum oxidation state is equal to number of valence electron in outermost shell . Hence it increases by one in any period.
