Detailed Solution

Size of Zr is approximately equal to Hf.Because both Zr and Hf are in Periodic Table Group 4, with Hf coming after the 4f series (lanthanide). 

Because of poor f-subshell shielding, the nucleus's attraction to outer shell electrons increases, causing the size of Hf to decrease and the sizes of Zr and Hf to become nearly equal.
