Answer:

Sb

Step-by-step explanation:

The periodic trend for atomic radius is that it decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom, therefore the elements with the larger atomic radius will be the ones which are closest to the bottom left corner of the periodic table. Since all of these elements are in the same group, the one with the largest atomic radius will be the one at the "bottom", and that is Sb.
