Electronegativity → B. Ionization Energy → C. Atomic Radius → D. Electron Affinity
Ionization Energy → A. Electronegativity → D. Electron Affinity → C. Atomic Radius
Atomic Radius → D. Electron Affinity → B. Ionization Energy → A. Electronegativity
Electron Affinity → C. Atomic Radius → B. Ionization Energy → A. Electronegativity
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
When moving left to right, the nucleus pulls electrons tighter, so atomic radius shrinks. Other options are incorrect because Option A thinks radius grows while electronegativity stays low; Option B puts ionization energy first, implying it decreases across a period.

Definition
Periodic properties describe the trends in atomic size, ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character, and non-metallic character across periods and groups. These properties help in understanding the reactivity and behavior of elements within the Periodic Table.
