Options
- ACm
- BW
- CMo
- DRu
Correct answer
A. Cm
Step-by-step solution
The inner transition elements are the f-block elements, comprising the lanthanides (atomic numbers 57–71) and actinides (atomic numbers 89–103). Curium (Cm) has atomic number 96 , placing it among the actinides and thus within the inner transition elements. Tungsten (W, 74 ), molybdenum (Mo, 42 ), and ruthenium (Ru, 44 ) are all d-block transition metals. Final answer: A
