Answer
A
antimony.
B
cesium.

radium.
D
uranium.

Explanation

Xenon is a noble gas with atomic number 54, so its symbol can be used as the abbreviated electron-configuration core for elements that come after it. Cesium has atomic number 55, and its configuration begins [Xe]6s¹; the other choices use earlier or later noble-gas cores.
