Read these carefully...

• The reactivity of the group 1 elements decreases down the group and the reactivity of the group 7 elements increases down the group

• The reactivity of the group 1 and group 7 elements increases down the group

• The reactivity of the group 1 elements increases down the group and the reactivity of the group 7 elements decreases down the group
