The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- Statement I is correct, as P has the least negative electron gain enthalpy among P, S, Cl, and F.
- Statement II is correct because the lanthanoid contraction is not observed in Eu, Yb.
- Statement III is correct since Ce(OH)$_3$ is most basic among lanthanoid hydroxides.
- Statement IV is correct as the radii of Na and Na$^+$ are 95 pm and 186 pm respectively.
