Correct answer: C
-
Identify the elements from their atomic numbers
- has atomic number element is As (Arsenic)
- has atomic number element is I (Iodine)
- has atomic number element is Bi (Bismuth)
-
Classify each element
- Arsenic (As): It is a metalloid.
- Iodine (I): It is a non-metal (halogen).
- Bismuth (Bi): It is a metal.
-
Match with the options
-
A: and are metalloids and is a metal.
This is incorrect because iodine is not a metalloid; it is a non-metal. -
B: and are non-metals and is a metalloid.
This is incorrect because arsenic is a metalloid, bismuth is a metal, and iodine is a non-metal. -
C: is a metalloid, is a non-metal and is a metal.
This matches exactly. -
D: , and are metals.
Incorrect.

Final answer
Therefore, the correct option is:
-
Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = C.
My derived answer = C.
Hence, they agree.
