Answer is: D. Neon is the most stable element because its highest occupied energy level is filled.
Neon (symbol: Ne) is an element (noble gas) with atomic number 10, which means it has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of neon atom: ₁₀Ne 1s²2s²2p⁶.
Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Answer:
Random motion in all directions.
Explanation:
It must be understood that the movement of atoms in a molecule is strictly based on the kinetic energy possessed by these particles.
Now, the gaseous state gives the highest level of freedom to these particles and thus they possess their highest kinetic energy in this state.
In gaseous helium, the atoms are expected to have a very high kinetic energy and thus they move in a haphazard or in an irregular manner.
This is principally due to the fact that in the gaseous state, atoms are most less confined and thus they are not restricted to a certain space.
This is in sharp contrast to the movement of atoms in the solid and liquid state. While atoms are mostly confined in the solid state such that they only merely vibrate about a fixed point, their movement in the liquid state is less restricted and they exhibit more freedom. This however is far less than the amount of freedom the gaseous state would avail its own particles.
