Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Strontium (Sr) is a Group 2 element like Magnesium (Mg) and is located directly below Magnesium in the periodic table. Both Magnesium and Strontium have similar chemical properties due to being in the same group or column of the periodic table, known as the alkaline earth metals.

So, in this case, the correct answer is Sr (Strontium), as it would behave most like Magnesium.
