Answer:

D

Explanation:

Silicon, element number 14 is the fourth element in the third period in the periodic table. Its electronic configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2.

The elemental symbol of the previous noble gas preceding the atom is replaced by the arrangement of the remaining electrons to form a noble gas configuration of an atom.

So for Silicon, we substitute [Ne] 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 and the noble gas configuration can now be [Ne] 3s^2 3p^2.
