Correct option is (3)

Electronegativity first decreases from B to Al and then increases from Al to Tl and this is due to poor shielding by inner d and f electrons. Group 13 elements are more electronegative than group 1 (alkali metals) and group 2 (alkaline earth metals). Group 13 elements show a wide range of variations in their properties. Group 13 elements and their ions also have smaller size than the corresponding group 2 elements because of the increase in nuclear charge.
