I believe d is the correct answer

Terry Wallace · Answer 2

A-Atomic radius is indirectly proportional to the electronegativity. An increase in electronegativity leads to a decrease in atomic radius.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is used to measure the strength of electrons bonding to atoms.

Other factors include, nuclear charge and number of electrons present in an atomic shell.
