Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

If you look at aluminum (Al) in the Periodic Table of the Elements, you will see that its electron configuration is 2-8-3. The last number indicates the valence shell, which contains three electrons.

The answer is (3) 3. The outer shell of an atom is called valence shell. And the ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom. Aluminum has a electron distribution of 2, 8, 3. So the outer shell has 3 electrons.
