Answer:

They all belong to the p block in the periodic table

Explanation:

Let us examine the electronic configuration of each element;

Oxygen - [He] 2s2 2p4

Silicon - [Ne] 3s2 3p2

Selenium - [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4

A common thread that joins all the elements listed above is that they all belong to the p-block in the periodic table. They could be collectively referred to as p-block elements.
