Solution

The correct option is B C, Si

According to Newland’s Law of Octaves, the then known elements when arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses, it is found that every eighth element had properties similar to that of the first.

In Newlands' Octaves, the properties of lithium and sodium were found to be same. Sodium is the eighth element after lithium. Similarly, carbon and silicon resemble each other where as others don't.
