The question asks us to identify which elements in the given portion of the periodic table belong to the p-block.
What's the p-block?
The p-block is a specific area on the right side of the periodic table (excluding Helium). It's where elements have their outermost electrons in what we call "p orbitals".
How to find the p-block
Looking at the picture, the p-block elements are the ones in the right-most section (except for the first row, which is a bit different). So, in your picture, the p-block elements are P, Q, and R.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. P, Q and R.
Key takeaway
The p-block is a section of the periodic table that helps us organize elements based on their electron configurations (how their electrons are arranged).
