Solution

The correct option is C Atomic radius of Ne is greater than that of F
a) Since, d electrons in the inner shell are filled, there is significant increase in the screening effect. It decreases from Sc to Cr and then remains constant until Cu and then increases again.

b) Due to poor shielding of d electrons, Ga has slightly smaller atomic radius than Al.

c) Since Ne has van der waals radius which is greater than the covalent radius, Ne has higher atomic radius than F.
Hence, C is the right answer.
