Solution

The correct option is C

Alkali metals


Alkali metals have tendency to loose the one e in their outermost shell and achieve the stable noble gas configuration.

The question mentions a property of Hydrogen which closely resembles this property of alkali metals. This is also one reason why Hydrogen was placed above the 1st group elements. This is still debatable though.
