More number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinides than those by the lanthanides, the main reason being

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Actinides show different oxidation states such as +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 and +7 . However +3 oxidation state is most common among all the  lanthanides.The wide range of oxidation states of actinides is attributed to the fact that the 5f ,6d and 7s energy levels are of comparable energies. Therefore all these three subshells can participate.
