Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the definition of lanthanoids
    Lanthanoids are the elements with atomic numbers from 58 to 71, i.e. the elements following lanthanum in which the 4f4f4f subshell is progressively filled. Commonly included are:
    Ce,Pr,Nd,Pm,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,Yb,Lu\mathrm{Ce}, \mathrm{Pr}, \mathrm{Nd}, \mathrm{Pm}, \mathrm{Sm}, \mathrm{Eu}, \mathrm{Gd}, \mathrm{Tb}, \mathrm{Dy}, \mathrm{Ho}, \mathrm{Er}, \mathrm{Tm}, \mathrm{Yb}, \mathrm{Lu}Ce,Pr,Nd,Pm,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,Yb,Lu

  2. Check each given element

    • Eu\mathrm{Eu}Eu (Europium): lanthanoid
    • Cm\mathrm{Cm}Cm (Curium): not a lanthanoid; it is an actinoid
    • Er\mathrm{Er}Er (Erbium): lanthanoid
    • Tb\mathrm{Tb}Tb (Terbium): lanthanoid
    • Yb\mathrm{Yb}Yb (Ytterbium): lanthanoid
    • Lu\mathrm{Lu}Lu (Lutetium): lanthanoid
  3. Count the elements that are not lanthanoids

    Only Cm\mathrm{Cm}Cm is not a lanthanoid.

    Therefore, the number of elements that do not belong to lanthanoids is 111

  4. Match with the options

    Option B: 1 is correct.
