detailed solution

Correct option is B

Electronegativity order : B > Tl > In > Ga > AlElectropositivity order : B < Tl < In < Ga < AlElectropositivity order ∝ Metallic nature  Reduction potential : Reduction potential is a measure of tendency to gain of electrons.More the positive reduction potential means more easy of gaining of electrons and  more the electronegativity of that element [non metal].But "Al" is metal and hence it has high oxidation potential value and has low reduction potential value, means it has highest  negative value.
