MCQ
Evaluate the following statements related to group $14$ elements for their correctness.

$(A)$Covalent radius decreases down the group from $\mathrm{C}$ to $\mathrm{Pb}$ in a regular manner.

$(B)$ Electronegativity decreases from $\mathrm{C}$ to $\mathrm{Pb}$ down the group gradually.

$(C)$ Maximum covalence of $\mathrm{C}$ is $4$ whereas other elements can expand their covalence due to presence of $d$ orbitals.

$(D)$ Heavier elements do not form $\mathrm{p} \pi-p \pi$ bonds.

$(E)$ Carbon can exhibit negative oxidation states.
