Solution

The correct option is B Argon
The atomic structure of an element represents the distribution of electrons in different atomic orbitals. Using the atomic structure, we can find out the atomic number. As every element has a unique atomic number, we can identify the element from its atomic number.
In the given structure, the total number of electrons present is 18, and the distribution is (2, 8, 8). So, the element is Argon, and option C is correct.
