Correct answer: D. s, p, d, f
- A. s, p
- B. s, p, d
- C. s, p, f
- D. s, p, d, f
Explanation
The period 6 is also a long period, which contains thirty-two elements. In this period, there are eight representative elements, ten transition elements, and a new set of fourteen elements called Lanthanides, as they start after 57La. Lanthanides have remarkably similar properties and are usually shown separately at the bottom of the periodic table.

About Periodic Properties and Trends
Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
