A
Metallic character is the tendency of an element to lose an electron easily. As we go down the group, the size of atoms increases.
Due to this, the nuclear force of attraction on the electrons in the outermost shell decreases, because of which they can be removed easily. Therefore, metallic character increases down the group.
