A, B, C


If you carefully go through the Newland's Table, you will find a resemblance with the musical octaves.

He arranged the then known elements in increasing order of their atomic weights.
He classified the then known elements into 7 groups, based on their physical properties.
He noted that every eighth element had similar properties to the first. For example - Na and Li had similar properties. (Back then noble gases had not yet been discovered)
The relationship was just like every eighth note that resembles the first in octaves. That's why the name 'Newland's Law of Octaves' name was given.
