Answer:

B. Xenon

Step-by-step explanation:

On the periodic table, every element has an "atomic number". This number states how many electrons there are in an element.

Cesium's atomic number is 55, which indicates it has 55 electrons. 55 minus 1 is 54 electrons. The element that has 54 electrons is Xenon, whose atomic number is 54.
