 Ga (Gallium) indeed has low high melting point too - so not true
Cs (Caesium) has a very low melting point (about $28.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) 

In option C, all are isoelectronic ( $\mathrm{Ar}=18 \mathrm{e}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}=18 \mathrm{e}^{-}$, etc.).

Cs has a large atomic radius as atomic radius increases down the group.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
