Option 3 is correct, i.e. p-block.

• Modern Periodic Table:
  • The Modern Periodic Table is classified into the following elements - p-block, s-block, d-block, and f-block.
  • The p-block elements include chalcogens, pnictogens, halogens, inert gases.
    • The 18^th group is known as Inert gas, zero groups, Nonreactive gases.
    • The 17^th group is known as Halogen.
    • The 16^th group is known as Chalcogen.
    • The 15^th group known as Pnictogen.
    • Pnictogen group refers to the choking property of nitrogen gas (as opposed to air, which contains oxygen as well as nitrogen).
    • Nitrogen family elements consist of atoms having 5 electrons in their outer energy level. Two of the electrons are in the s subshell, with 3 unpaired electrons in the ​p subshell.
  • The s-block elements include alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. 
  • The d-block elements include Transition elements.
  • The f-block elements include Inner Transition Elements.

The first letter in each group is obtained by adding five letters to the first letter of the previous group.

W + 5 = B, B + 5 = G, G + 5 = L, L + 5 = Q, Q + 5 = V

The second letter in each group is opposite to the first letter of that group according to their positional value.

W ↔ D, B ↔ Y, G ↔ T, L ↔ O, Q ↔ J, V ↔ E

The numbers in in each group are obtained by adding two and its multiple at each step respectively.

4 + 2 = 6, 6 + 4 = 10, 10 + 6 = 16, 16 + 8 = 24, 24 + 10 = 34
