Which element has a larger atomic radius than sulfur?

Atomic radius increases down a group and generally decreases from left to right across a period. Cadmium is below sulfur in the periodic table, so its atoms have an additional electron shell and a larger radius. Chlorine is to the right of sulfur, while fluorine and oxygen are above it; all are smaller. The correct choice is cadmium.
