Vedclass · Answer

(D) Electronegativity generally increases as we move up a group in the periodic table due to a decrease in atomic size and an increase in effective nuclear charge. All the given elements ($Be$,$Mg$,$Ca$,$Sr$) belong to Group $2$ (Alkaline Earth Metals). The order of elements from top to bottom in Group $2$ is $Be$,$Mg$,$Ca$,$Sr$. Since $Be$ is at the top of this group,it has the smallest atomic size and the highest electronegativity among the given options.
