The cause of the diagonal relationship is:

Two statements are given below.
Statement $I$: Nitrogen has more ionization enthalpy and electronegativity than beryllium.
Statement $II$: $CrO_3$ and $B_2O_3$ are acidic oxides.
Correct answer is

$A, B$,and $C$ are hydroxy-compounds of the elements $X, Y$,and $Z$ respectively. $X, Y$,and $Z$ are in the same period of the periodic table. $A$ gives an aqueous solution of $pH < 7$. $B$ reacts with both strong acids and strong alkalis. $C$ gives an aqueous solution which is strongly alkaline.
Which of the following statements is / are true?
$I$: The three elements are metals.
$II$: The electronegativities decrease from $X$ to $Y$ to $Z$.
$III$: The atomic radius decreases in the order $X, Y$,and $Z$.
$IV$: $X, Y$,and $Z$ could be phosphorus,aluminium,and sodium respectively.

$X$,$Y$,and $Z$ are elements of the same period and belong to the $p$-block. $Y$ has a positive value of $\Delta_{eg}H$ (electron gain enthalpy),and $Z$ has the highest $2^{nd}$ ionization energy $(I.E.)$ among them. What is the correct order of their atomic numbers?
$(a)$ $X < Y < Z$
$(b)$ $X < Z < Y$
$(c)$ $Y < Z < X$
$(d)$ $Z < Y < X$
