The correct answer is - halogen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The physical properties of the given elements are identical to the physical properties of the free bromine which is a reddish-brown liquid that has a pungent odor and highly reactive. It has an appreciable amber vapor at 25 degrees (room temperature).

Bromine is a halogen and like other halogens, it is also present in the diatomic molecule and located in the 17th group or VII A group of periodic tables. Exposure of the bromine causes irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system.
