Solution

The correct option is D All of these
Mendeleev's table was unable to locate the correct position of Hydrogen in its periodic table since it resembled alkali metals as well as halogens.

Iodine (Atomic weight = $126.9$ ) having lower atomic mass than Tellurium (Atomic weight = $127.6$ ) was placed ahead of Tellurium because Iodine showed similar properties with Fluorine, Chlorine and Bromine.

Mendeleev arranged the elements in the order of their increasing atomic mass.
