    A)  \[Ce\]                                 

    B)  \[Cf\]

    C)   \[Ca\]                                 

    D)  \[Cs\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The fourteen elements which follow actinium   from  thorium\[(Z=90)\]to lawrencium \[(Z=103)\]are called actinoids. They involve the filling of \[5f-\]subshell. Californium\[(Cf)\]has the atomic number 98 and its configuration is as\[Cf(Z=98):[Rn]5{{f}^{10}},\text{ }6{{d}^{0}},7{{s}^{2}}\]Hence, it is a member of actinide series.
