The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
The d-block elements are those in which the last electron enters the \( (n-1)d \) subshell. These elements are also called transition elements and are located in the middle of the periodic table.
Counting d-block Elements: The d-block consists of four transition series:
3d series: Sc (21) to Zn (30) → 10 elements
4d series: Y (39) to Cd (48) → 10 elements
5d series: Hf (72) to Hg (80) → 10 elements
6d series: Rf (104) to Cn (112) → 10 elements
Total Number: \[ 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 \] \[ \boxed{40} \]
