Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (i), (ii), (iv), (v)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

All transition elements are \(d\)-block elements but all \(d\)-block elements are not transition metals. A transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incomplete \(d\)-orbitals. On the basis of this definition, scandium and zinc do not count as…
