Among the elements in Group IVA, Pb (lead) has the strongest metallic character due to its larger atomic size and lower ionization energy compared to other elements in the group. The metallic character decreases as we move from left to right across the group with C (carbon) being the least metallic element. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it represents Pb.
