Solution

The correct option is D 0.0
Group 18 of the modern periodic table is occupied by noble gases or inert gases. These elements have a completely filled outermost shell. Therefore, these gases do not have a natural tendency to react with other elements.
Valency is defined as the combining capacity of the elements. As these elements have octet structures, the valency of these elements is zero.
