B

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the atomic numbers for each element.

    • W: Atomic number 2 (Helium)
    • X: Atomic number 6 (Carbon)
    • Y: Atomic number 16 (Sulfur)
    • Z: Atomic number 20 (Calcium)
  2. Determine the type of element (metal, non-metal, or noble gas) based on its atomic number and position in the periodic table.

    • W (Helium, atomic number 2): This is a noble gas, which is a type of non-metal.
    • X (Carbon, atomic number 6): This is a non-metal.
    • Y (Sulfur, atomic number 16): This is a non-metal.
    • Z (Calcium, atomic number 20): This is an alkaline earth metal.
  3. Select the element that is a metal.

    Based on the analysis, element Z (Calcium) is a metal.

    The correct option is B.
