Correct answer: B

  1. Use periodic trend of electronegativity
    Electronegativity generally:

    • increases across a period from left to right
    • decreases down a group
  2. Identify approximate electronegativities
    The given elements are:

    • Br\mathrm{Br}Br (bromine)
    • C\mathrm{C}C (carbon)
    • At\mathrm{At}At (astatine)
    • P\mathrm{P}P (phosphorus)

    Approximate Pauling electronegativities are:

    • Br≈2.8\mathrm{Br} \approx 2.8Br≈2.8
    • C≈2.5\mathrm{C} \approx 2.5C≈2.5
    • At≈2.2\mathrm{At} \approx 2.2At≈2.2
    • P≈2.1\mathrm{P} \approx 2.1P≈2.1
  3. Arrange in decreasing order
    Therefore, Br>C>At>P\mathrm{Br} > \mathrm{C} > \mathrm{At} > \mathrm{P}Br>C>At>P

  4. Check the options

    • A: C>P>At>Br\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{At}>\mathrm{Br}C>P>At>Br ❌
    • B: Br>C>At>P\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{At}>\mathrm{P}Br>C>At>P ✅
    • C: Br>P>At>C\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{At}>\mathrm{C}Br>P>At>C ❌
    • D: P>Br>C>At\mathrm{P}>\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{At}P>Br>C>At ❌
  5. Final answer
    The correct order is: Br>C>At>P\boxed{\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{At}>\mathrm{P}}Br>C>At>P​ So, the correct option is B.
