    A.

    s block elements

    B.

    p block elements

    C.

    Actinides

    D.

    Lanthanides

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Actinides.
    · The 14 elements that come after actinium (atomic number 89) in the periodic table are called actinides.
    · These elements have atomic numbers from 90 (thorium) to 103 (lawrencium). Actinides are a series of heavy, radioactive elements that are typically found in the f-block of the periodic table.
    · They are known for their use in nuclear reactors and weapons, with uranium and plutonium being notable examples.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · s block elements: These include elements from groups 1 and 2, such as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, not the actinides.
    · p block elements: These elements are found in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table and include nonmetals, metalloids, and some metals.
    · Lanthanides: The lanthanides are the 14 elements after lanthanum, and they are found just above the actinides in the periodic table.
