Everett Barron · Answer 1

Well its B because they have filled their shell which means A B and D are out. This is because noble gases has done what all the elements want to do which is fill their shells.

Miller · Answer 2

The answer is b. elements react because they want to gain a full outer shell of electrons (or in other words, to have 8 valence electrons). because noble gases already have 8 valence electrons, they don't need to gain any more/won't give them up easily.
