Answer:

B) As you move across the row, the number of electrons increases and reactivity also increases.

Explanation:

The periodic table is arranged in a way that if you go across a period, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element increases. In terms of reactivity, the most reactive elements are the ones which have a high electronegativity. The electronegativity of the elements increases as you travel to the right and upwards on the periodic table.
