Solution

The correct option is A Cs
The property of elements in the compounds to remain as positive ions is termed as electropositive character. It decreases from left to right across the period. It increases as we move down the group. Caesium (Cs) lies in the leftmost bottom part of the periodic table. Therefore, it is the most electropositive stable element in the modern periodic table.
