The strongest electropositive element is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Electropositivity represents the tendency of an atom to lose electrons and form positive ions (cations). In the periodic table, electropositivity increases down a group because the atomic radius increases and the valence electrons experience a weaker nuclear attraction. Among the alkali metals, Cesium () has the largest atomic size and lowest ionization energy among the non-radioactive stable elements, making it the most strongly electropositive element listed.
