Explanation:
The melting and boiling point of carbon, silicon, and germanium is significantly high because they have a very stable solid structure. Sn and Pb have a lower melting point because only two bonds are formed instead of four, due to inert pair effect. The melting point of carbon is extremely high.

Answer:
Atomic size
The significantly higher melting and boiling points of the carbon group elements reflect their tendency to exist as giant molecules, as opposed to the tendencies of elements in the adjacent families to exist as smaller, discrete molecules.
