Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`s`-block and `p`-block elements collectively comprise the representative elements. The valence shell electronic configuration of halogen is `ns^(2) n^(5)` and the last electron enters in `p`-subshell. Thus, halogens belongs to `p`-block elements.
