Solution

The correct option is C $N e$
Option E is the correct answer.
$N e$ or Neon is an inert gas. It has a complete octet (2,8) with 8 electrons in its outermost orbit and is highly stable. And thus under standard conditions it remains as an individual gas phase atom without forming a molecule.
