The Atomic radius of the elements decreases across a period from left to right due to an increase in effective nuclear charge. On moving down a group, since, the number of shells increases, so atomic radius increases. Amongst isoelectronic species, the ionic radius increases with increases in negative charge or decrease in positive charge.

Therefore, the correct option is (1).
