Answer 1

The elements that most likely have similar properties are Li and Fr.

Lithium (Li) and Francium (Fr) are both alkali metals located in the same group (Group 1) of the periodic table, which means they share similar chemical properties. In contrast, the other pairs of elements consist of different groups and therefore have different properties.
