Solution

The correct option is C $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{10} 4 s^{2} 4 p^{6} 4 d^{10} 5 s^{2} 5 p^{6}$
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and belongs to group 18 which has outermost electronic configuration of $n s^{2} n p^{6}$ where n is highest shell/period.
thus $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{10} 4 s^{2} 4 p^{6} 4 d^{10} 5 s^{2} 5 p^{6}$ is the noble gas configuration.
