The correct Answer is:
D
The elements belong to carbon family are: Carbon - (C )
Silicon - (Si)
Germanium - (Ge)
Tin -(Sn)
Lead- (Pd)
Flerovium - (Fl)
Except carbon all other elements contain empty d-orbitals in their outermost shell, thus can form more than four-bonds.
`therefore` (d ) is the correct answer.
