Evaluate the following statements related to group 14 elements for their correctness. (A) Covalent radius decreases down the group from C\mathrm{C}C to Pb\mathrm{Pb}Pb in a regular manner. (B) Electronegativity decreases from C\mathrm{C}C to Pb\mathrm{Pb}Pb down the group gradually. (C) Maximum covalance of C\mathrm{C}C is 4 whereas other elements can expand their covalance due to presence of d orbitals. (D) Heavier elements do not form pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pipπ−pπ bonds. (E) Carbon can exhibit negative oxidation states. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
