MHT CET Chemistry question

The atomic radii of transition elements in a row are

(A)Smaller than those of s-block as well as p-block elements
(B)Greater than those of s-block as well as p-block elements
(C)Smaller than those of s-block but greater than those of p-block elementsCorrect
(D)Greater than those of s-block but smaller than those of p-block

Answer: (C)

Solution

Transition elements have higher effective nuclear charge than s-block elements and so are smaller than them, but they
