Solution

The correct option is A 2, 8, 6
The total number of electrons present in the Sulphur atom is 16.
The distribution of electrons in oxygen atom is given by:

First orbit or K shell $= 2 (2 n^{2} = 2 \times 1^{1} = 2)$

Second orbit or L shell $= 8 (2 \times 2^{2} = 8)$

Third orbit or M shell $= 6 (16 - 2 - 8 = 6)$
