Question
The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions.
The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers +2,+4 and +6. XeF4 reacts violently with water to given XeO3. The compounds of xenon exhibit rich stereochemistry and their geometries can be deducted considering the total number of electron pairs in the valence shell.
Argon is used in arc welding because of its

Solution
The correct option is A Low reactivity with metal
Argon, being a noble gas, will not react with the metals, thus, can be used in arc welding.
Argon, being a noble gas, will not react with the metals, thus, can be used in arc welding.
