Solution

The correct option is C Phosphorus
In p-block elements metallic nature decreases across the period as the atomic size decreases across the period. Whereas, metallic nature increases down the group as the atomic size increases down the group.
The order of metallic nature is :
Phosphorus>Nitrogen>Sulphur>Oxygen.

Hence, phosporous will have more metallic nature.
