Options
A Monochlorides (Ox. state = I) and Dichlorides (Ox. state = II)
B Dichlorides (Ox. state = II) and Tetrachlorides (Ox. state = IV)
Correct Answer
C Tetrachlorides (Ox. state = IV) and Pentachlorides (Ox. state = V)
D Monochlorides (Ox. state = I) and Tetrachlorides (Ox. state = IV)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document states, 'Group 14 elements form two series of chlorides: the dichlorides (MCl₂) Ox. state = II and the tetrachlorides (MCl₄) Ox. state = IV.'
