(A) & (B)
The atomic radii decrease as one moves down the group from Al to Ga due to the shielding effect of electrons. As a result of this ineffective effect, the effective nuclear charge rises.

B
In group 14, as we move down from C to Sn, the size increases and electronegativity decreases. This results in the decrease in M-M bond energy. Hence the catenation property decreases.
Bond energy is the amount of energy required to
