The correct answer is:
O < S < Se < As
On moving down in a group atomic radius increases due to successive addition of extra shell hence
O < S < Se
Further As is in group 15 having one less electron in its p orbital hence have higher atomic radii than group 16 elements.
i.e., O < S < Se < As
O < S < Se
Further As is in group 15 having one less electron in its p orbital hence have higher atomic radii than group 16 elements.
i.e., O < S < Se < As
