Answer:

The non metal is d with the atomic number 16 because when we put the electrons into separate shells, it comes like this :

K shell : 2 , L shell : 8, M shell : 6

as you can see, D, which is Sulphur, has only 6 electrons in its outermost shell and needs two electrons to satisfy the octet rule, and only non metals have the tendency to gain electrons, so d is a non-metal.

Hope it helps!
