B. The atomic number. This is because the atomic number is the same as the number of protons an element has, and the number of protons defines an element.

⭐ Elements in which the last electron enters any one of the five d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells are called as <u>d-block</u><u> </u><u>elem</u><u>ents</u> .
⭐ But the last electron of Zn , Cd , Hg and Cn enters in the s-oribital of their respective ultimate shells rather than the d-oribitals of their respective penultimate shells . Therefore, these elements cannot be regarded as d-block elements .
☃️ But properties of these elements resemble to the d-block elements rather than s-block elements .
☃️ Therefore, to make the study of periodic classification of elements more rational, they are studied along with d-block elements .
✍️ Thus <u>on the basis of properties</u> all transition elements are d- block elements, but <u>on the basis of electronic configuration</u> all d -block elements are not transition elements .
Answer:
Plasma.
Explanation:
In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states. The three (3) classical states of matter are;
I. Solid.
II. Liquid.
III. Gas
Plasma can be defined as a state of matter in which the electrons temporarily separate from the protons and as a result, it is generally referred to as the fourth (4th) state of matter due to its superheated nature.
The answer is (D) microscopic. You can remember this, because the name is very close to "microscope," an instrument used to greatly magnify and observe tiny organisms and objects.
