Solution

The answer is A. Group 14.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

Group 14 on the periodic table includes Carbon (C), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), and Flerovium (Fl).

  1. Carbon (C) in its elemental state forms a diatomic gas. This is seen in the molecule Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

  2. Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) are considered metalloids. They have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

  3. Carbon (C) and Lead (Pb) are nonmetal solids that are not metalloids.

  4. Flerovium (Fl) is exclusively radioactive. It is a superheavy, artificially produced, radioactive chemical element.

Therefore, all the conditions are met in Group 14.
