As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

Food that contains nuts should be prepared last
Answer: (A) and (D)
Options (A) and (D) represent beta decay.
Explanation:
It is very simple to find beta decay in a nuclear reaction. In beta decay , neutron breaks down into a proton and an electron. After that electron is emitted from the nucleus,while proton remains inside nucleus. The resulting daughter nuclei will have one more proton and one less neutron.

i’m guessing that is the answer as the question is unreasonable
