On the periodic table, the orbital blocks are broken up based on section. The first two rows (Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals) are the S block, the transition metals are the D block, the nonmetals/metalloids are the P block, and the extra elements at the bottom of the periodic table are the F block. Therefore, the answer would be “The D block”. Hope this helped!
