Cupric compounds are more stable than their cuprous counterparts in solid state. This is because
A. the endothermic character of the 2nd I P of Cu is not so high
B. size of `Cu^(2+)` is less than `Cu^(+)`
C. `Cu^(2+)` has stabler electronic configuration as compared to `Cu^(+)`
D. the lattice energy released for cupric compounds is much higher than `Cu^(+)`.
