Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : The electronegativity of group 14 elements from Si to Pb gradually decreases. Statement II : Group 14 contains non-metallic, metallic, as well as metalloid elements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below :

(A) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
(B) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(C) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
