Elements of group `14`A. exhibit oxidation state of `+4` onlyB. exhibit oxidation state of `+2` and `+4`C. form `M^(-2)` and `M^(4+)` ionsD. form `M^(2+)` and `M^(4+)` ions

Answer» Correct Answer - B
They have valence shell electron configuration `ns^(2)np^(2)` , so two electrons of `p` sub shell or four elecrtrons of `s` and `p` sub shells can participate in chemical bonding.
