Correct Answer

(D) II, III only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) The ionic radius of lanthanoids follow the following relation: Ionic radius \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { atomic number }}\) Atomic number \((Z)\) for \(\mathrm{Pr}=59\) Atomic number \((Z)\) for \(\mathrm{Sm}=62\) Atomic number \((Z)\) for \(D y=66\) and has ionic radii for…
