The correct response is:
All are 2 letters, start with S, and match up with their element names.
This is true because each of the chemical symbols for silicon (Si), strontium (Sr), selenium (Se), and seaborgium (Sg) consists of two letters, they all start with the letter 'S', and they all correspond to the names of the respective elements.
