The decrease in metallic radius coupled with the increase in atomic mass results in a general increase in the density of these elements. Thus, from titanium (Z = 22) to copper (Z = 29) the a significant increase in the density.

Given data in NCERT.

From the above data, the order will be-

\mathrm{Zn < Cr < Fe < Co < Cu}

Therefore, Option 2 is correct.
