Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Matter is defined as a substance which has mass and occupies volume. The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
Elements which are present in group 17 are known as halogens.
Elements present in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
At room temperature, both fluorine and chlorine exists as a gas.
Bromine exists as a liquid and iodine exists as a solid.
Therefore, we can conclude that halogen groups are likely to have elements in three states of matter.
