An element of the $3d-$ transition series shows two oxidation states $x$ and $y$,which differ by two units. Then:

  • A
    compounds in oxidation state $x$ are ionic if $x > y$
  • B
    compounds in oxidation state $x$ are ionic if $x < y$
  • C
    compounds in oxidation state $y$ are covalent if $x < y$
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$
