The correct answer is **b: periods and groups**.
The elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in rows called periods and columns called groups or families. This arrangement reflects the patterns of elemental properties, including energy levels (which increase with higher periods), valence electrons (which vary within groups), and oxidation states (which tend to follow certain trends within groups).
