Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Elements of a group represent similar chemical properties because they contain same number of valence electrons which determines their reactivity.
Hence, elements of a group have same chemical nature or property.
A group is represented by a vertical column in a periodic table.
On the other hand, a period is represented by a horizontal line.
Thus, we can conclude that a column contains elements with similar properties in the periodic table.
