How do I make a decimal column alignments?

Question

I am trying to fit the decimal alignments in my table in below. Could you please advise to me? Thanks in advance!

Currently my table is like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
\begin{table*}[h!]

since you're using siunitx anyway, just take a look here oder here. Can someone mark this as a duplicate? — riddleculous, Jun 01 '17 at 08:41

First time I heard about the package rccol, thanks Herbert... — MadyYuvi, Jun 01 '17 at 11:29

Using the geometry package, you don't have to use adjustbox. Here is what I propose, wihmakecell, which allows for line breaks in cells:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow, makecell, caption}
\usepackage{bm}
\let\pmb\bm
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
