Which of the following represents the correct order of metallic character of the given elements?
\( \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Si} < \mathrm{K} < \mathrm{Mg} \)
\( \mathrm{Si} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Mg} < \mathrm{K} \)
\( \mathrm{K} < \mathrm{Mg} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Si} \)
\( \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Si} < \mathrm{Mg} < \mathrm{K} \)
