The symbol for xenon (xe) would be a part of the noble gas notation for the element cesium.
For writing the electronic configuration of any element by using the preceding noble gas configuration, we simply use the symbols of noble gas belongs to the previous period of that particular elements. We can't use the symbol of noble gas of same period from which the element belong.
A is the wrong option because the noble gas in the preceding period to the period from which antimony belongs is krypton.
The actual electronic configuration of antimony is as follow:
[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3
B is correct option because the noble gas in the preceding period to the period from which Cesium belongs is Xenon.
The actual electronic configuration of Cesium is as follow:
[Xe] 6s1
Thus, we concluded that the symbol for xenon (xe) would be a part of the noble gas notation for the element cesium.
