Margaret Downs · Answer 1

O
Explanation:

In the periodic table atomic radii decreases across a period when we move from left to right and decreases down the group.

Given:

Rb, In - both are of same period (So the atomic radii decreases when we move from left to right)

In, Ge - Ge belongs to copper family

In - In belongs to boron family

for In, Ge, O, P in each one extra shell gets added.

So the order of increasing radii will be

O
