    B)         \[CC{{l}_{2}}\] 

    C)         \[GeC{{l}_{2}}\]              

    D)         \[PbC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[PbC{{l}_{2}}\]is the most stable among these, due to inert pair effect of Pb. Inert pair effect increase in a group from top to bottom and due to it, the lower oxidation state is more stable than higher oxidation state. (Thus, \[PbC{{l}_{2}}\] is stabler than\[PbC{{l}_{4}}\])
