A

They have the same number of valence electrons.

B

They have the same atomic mass.

C

They are all metals.

D

They have identical electron affinity values.

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Elements in a group share the same number of outer electrons, called valence electrons. Other options are incorrect because Thinking that atomic mass decides chemical behavior is a misconception; Some think all elements in a group are metals.
