detailed solution

Correct option is C

Down the group-l3, electronegativity decreases from B to Al and then increases marginally. This is because the size increases ,yet the effective nuclear charge increases because  of the poor shielding of d - and f- electrons.as a result, force of attraction of the nucleus for the electrons increases and hence the electronegativity increases from Al to Tl.
