The correct answer is: a, b, c and d

a) The isotope of carbon containing 7 neutrons has natural abundance of 1.1%. This statement is correct because the C613 has the natural abundance of 1.1%.
b) Among the IV A group elements, Sn has the lowest melting point. This statement is correct because the melting point decreases down the group.
c) Silicon is the 2nd (by mass) most abundant element in the earth's crust. This statement is correct because it has the 27.7% of earth crust.
d) Elemental carbon shows the highest electrical resistivity among the 14 group elements. This statement is correct because the graphite has the low resistivity and higher conductivity.

Hence, all the statements are correct.
