Correct Answer: Decreases


Solution : The correct option is - decreases.

In a period, the atomic radius decreases from left to right. Protons are added to the atom's nucleus of the elements, increasing its positive charge and strengthening its pull on the electrons. As a result the size of atom decreases due to stronger attractive force from nucleus on moving left to right across a period.
