Solution

The correct option is B Inductive effect is a temporary effect
Option(a) is correct because as distance increases, strength of Inductive effect decreases.

Option(b) is wrong as permanent polarisation of bond due to shifting of shared pair of sigma electrons towards the more electronegative atom/substituent occurs. So inductive effect is a permanent effect.

Option(c) is correct as inductive effect operates through sigma bond only i.e. no displacement of π electrons.

Option(d) is also correct as electron pair shifts towards more electronegative atom partially and permanently.
