Answer:

N, P, As, Sb

Explanation:

Elements present in the same group having same number of valence electrons. The first option is correct from given options because nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic and antimony are present in same group thus having same number of electrons in outer most  energy level.

Electronic configuration of N:

N₇: [He] 2s² 2p³

Electronic configuration of P:

P₁₅: [Ne] 3s² 3p³

Electronic configuration As:

As₃₃: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³

Electronic configuration Sb:

Sb₅₁: [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p³

Here it is clear from electronic configuration all these elements have five number of valence electrons.
