Answer 1

The correct answer is Increases.

Key Points

The atomic size increases as you go down a group in the periodic table.
This increase is due to the addition of new electron shells or energy levels.
As more electron shells are added, the outermost electrons are farther from the nucleus.
The increased shielding effect from inner electrons also contributes to the larger atomic size.
This trend of increasing atomic size down a group is observed across the periodic table's elements.
