In the periodic table, with the increase in atomic number, the metallic character of an element

Question

In the periodic table, with the increase in atomic number, the metallic character of an element (A) decrease in a period and increases in a group (B) increases in a period and decreases in a group (C) increases in a period as well as in the group (D) decreases in a period and also in the group

In periodic table, the metallic character increases down the group because the ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group and metallic character decreases from left to right because the ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right.
