Solution

The correct option is C [Ne] 3s2 3p5
Elements having the same number of valence electrons belong to the same group.
[Xe]6s24f145d10, [Kr]5s24d10 and [Ar]4s23d10 belong to the same group since each one of them have two electrons in the outermost shell. In contrast, [Ne]3s23p5has 7 electrons in the outermost shell. Hence, it belongs to a different group.
