The correct answer is:
For group 13 elements, electronegativity decreases from B to Al. The decrease in electronegativity from $\mathrm{B}$ to $\mathrm{Al}$ is due to increased size of Al. The remaining three elements are more electro negative than $\mathrm{Al}$ and their electroonegativity increases from Ga to TI.
Thus, the correct order of electronegativity of group 13 elements are as follows.
