Answer 1

d) repeat

Step-by-step explanation:

If the trend in a property is periodic, it means it will repeat on the periodic table.

Periodic properties on the table have a constant pattern as we move up or down a group or across a period from left to right.

• This helps to predict some of the salient properties of elements as we move through the periodic table.
• For example, on most periodic groups, metallicity increases as we move down the group and it decreases across the period.
