In most metal alloys, interstitial diffusion is the most common. Therefore, the radius of the given atoms plays a crucial role. As we know in the periodic table of elements atomic radii rise from up to the bottom and from the right to the left, or in other words from the right top corner to the down left corner. Therefore in our case, we have:
Therefore, the carbon has the ability to diffuse more quickly than the other three. Hence the correct answer is
