Solution

The correct option is A $I, I I$ and $I I I$
According to Fajan's rule, polarisability increases with the increase in negative charge and the size of the anion.
The charge on $S^{2 -}$ is higher than that on $C l^{-}$ and smaller than that on $P^{3 -}$ . Also, the size of $S^{2 -}$ is smaller than $S e^{2 -}$ . Hence, the polarisability of $S^{2 -}$ is higher than $C l^{-}$ but smaller than $P^{3 -}$ and $S e^{2 -}$ .
$S^{2 -}$ has a larger size than $O^{2 -}$ , so the former has more polarisability.
