As we learnt

Electronegativity and atomic radius -

The attraction between the outer electrons and the nucleus increases as the atomic radius decreases in a period.

- wherein

Electronegativity\propto\frac{1}{atomic\:radius}

 

 

Electronegativity and metallic character -

Electronegativity is inversely related to the metallic properties of elements.

- wherein

Electronegativity\propto\frac{1}{metallic\ \:property}

 

 Metallic character decrease down the group . So B has least mettalic character among the given option
