 Boron and silicon exhibit a diagonal relationship due to their similar chemical properties despite having differences in physical properties like atomic mass, electronegativity, and metallic character.

Option(1) Boron and silicon have differences in physical properties like atomic mass. Hence option 1 is incorrect.

Option(2) Boron and silicon have differences in physical properties like electronegativity. Hence option 2 is incorrect.

Option(4) Boron and silicon have differences in physical properties like metallic character. Hence option 4 is incorrect.
