Solution

The correct option is C
0

Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon are classified as inert gases because they have a filled valence shell.
So, inert gases have a stable electronic configuration and very high ionisation enthalpy.
Therefore, they do not tend to lose or gain electrons.
Hence, they have zero valency.
Therefore, option (c) zero is correct.
