Solution

The correct option is B (i), (iii), and (iv)
The element with the atomic number 18 is argon. It is a noble gas and belongs to zero group or 18th group. It has its octet complete and so the valency is zero. Elements with atomic number 9, 17 and 35 are F, Cl and Br. They are all halogens and belong to group 17. All halogens have valency 1. As the atomic size increases, electronegativity decreases. In a period moving left to right, electronegativity increases and in a group, on moving down, it decreases. Thus, 17 is more electronegative than 16 and 35.
Hence, the correct option is b.
