Answer 2

The correct option is B.

• The element X has an atomic number 16 so, element X is oxygen.
• X will show similar properties with the element which has a similar size to oxygen and a similar type of atomic number.
• N has atomic number 14 and is similar in size to oxygen. It has the same electronegativity as oxygen.
• That's why nitrogen shows the similar chemical properties like oxygen.
