Answer 1

Answer:

X - 2, 8. So element X is Neon (Atomic Number 10).

Y - 2, 8, 6. So element Y is Sulphur (Atomic Number 16).

Z - 2, 8, 3. So element Z is Aluminium (Atomic Number 13).

Of these, Neon (X) and Sulphur (Y) are non-metals and Aluminium (Z) is a metal.

So Option D is the correct answer.
