Solution

The correct option is D O, P
According to Newland's law of octaves, when arranged in the increasing order of atomic mass, the properties of every eighth element are similar to those of every first element.

Phosphorous is the seventh element after oxygen, in the octave and hence, according to Newland's law of octaves, they wouldn't have the same properties.
