Answer:

The correct answer is barium.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the valence shell of an atom of an element.

Bismuth has atomic number of 83.

[Bi]=[Xe]6s^26p^3

Number of valence electron = 5

Boron has atomic number of 5.

[B]=[He]2s^22p^1

Number of valence electron = 3

Barium has atomic number of 56.

[Ba]=[Xe]6s^2

Number of valence electron = 2

Bromine has atomic number of 35.

[Br]=[Ar]4s^24p^5

Number of valence electron = 7

Barium is one of the element in the given options which possesses fewest number of valence electrons
