Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrons in all noble gases are filled with electrons and don't need to involve in a reaction to gain or loss

The answer A is wrong because not all of them has same number of protons equal the neutrons

Answer C is wrong because we can see helium with 2 electrons in outer shell

and Answer D is wrong as we say above each atom doesn't need to react with another to be stable
