    option C Cause. The effect results from poor shielding of nuclear charge (nuclear attractive force on electrons) by 4f electrons; the 6s electrons are drawn towards the nucleus, thus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.

    Lanthanoid contraction effect results from poor shielding of nuclear charge (nuclear attractive force on electrons) by 4f electrons (filling of 4f is done before 5d); the 6s electrons are drawn towards the nucleus, thus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
