Solution

The correct option is A Has 8 valence electrons in its outer level
A neutral gas is one that is stable (meaning it has 8 valence electrons in its outer level already and does not need to react to achieve these 8 electrons). These gases are also called Noble gases. Helium is considered a neutral gas because it only has one energy level and can only hold 2 electrons.
