The first element of the rare-earth metals is:

What is the effect of lanthanoid contraction in the lanthanoid series of elements with increasing atomic number?

Match the properties given in List-$I$ with the elements given in List-$II$:

List-$I$ (Property)	List-$II$ (Element)
$(A)$ Lanthanoid showing $+4$ oxidation state	$(i)$ $Pm$
$(B)$ Lanthanoid showing $+2$ oxidation state	$(ii)$ $Ce$
$(C)$ Radioactive lanthanoid	$(iii)$ $Lu$
$(D)$ Lanthanoid with $4f^7$ configuration in $+3$ state	$(iv)$ $Eu$
$(E)$ Lanthanoid with $4f^{14}$ configuration in $+3$ state	$(v)$ $Gd$
-	$(vi)$ $Dy$
