Answer

A) N and P

Step-by-step explanation

Nitrogen and phosphorous are part of the same 'family' on the periodic table, group 15, also called the nitrogen group. Since phosphorus is just below nitrogen, we can expect nitrogen and phosphorus to have some similar properties. They are non-metals and have similar properties when making compounds.
