Answer:

(3) 2-8-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulphur has an atomic number of 16

sulphur can exist in 3 different excited states of +2, +4 and +6

electronic configuration of sulphur is 2,8,6

when excited, it loses 2 electrons to enter the +2 state

in the +2 state, the electronic configuration will be 2,8,4
