The correct statement is:

**Nonmetallic character increases as you move to the right across a row in the periodic table and decreases as you move down a column.**

This is because nonmetals are found on the right side of the periodic table, and as you move down a group, the elements tend to have more metallic character due to the increasing atomic size and decreasing electronegativity.
Nonmetallic character increases to the right and decreases down the column.
