The final set is 5p5 which means the element is in the fifth row and is the fifth element in p-block, this element therefore must be iodine.

The correct answer is IODINE.
In chemistry, electronic configuration refers to the distribution of the electrons of an element in different atomic orbitals. There are four basic atomic orbitals, where electrons can be distributed, these are orbital S, P, D, F. Each orbital has the maximum number of atom that it can hold. The electronic configuration of an element depend on the atomic number of that element. For the question given above, the atomic number of iodine is 53 and the distribution of the 53 electrons into different orbitals is the one given in the question.
