For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

Electron configuration is the electron distribution in the molecular and atomic orbital. An element with configuration ns²np¹ will be in the 3Agroup. Thus, option B is correct.
<h3>What is electronic configuration?</h3>
The electronic configuration has been the arrangement and distribution of the sub-atomic particle, an electron in the atomic shells.
The electronic configuration given is, ns²np¹. Here, there are three valence electrons in the outermost orbit. As it has been known that the number of the valence electron gives the number of the group.
Therefore, option B. 3A group or 13 group is the correct option.
Your question is incomplete, but most probably your full question was, An element with the general electron configuration for its outermost electrons of ns2np1 would be in which group?
