Solution

The correct option is C Transition elements
Non-stoichiometric compounds are formed by Transition elements.

A unique feature of the transition elements is that they form non-stoichiometric compounds. These are compounds of indefinite structure and proportions. For example, iron(II) oxide(FeO) should be written with a bar over the formula, FeO to indicate that the ratio of Fe and O atoms is not exactly 1 : 1.

Option B is correct.
