O
They have the same number of electrons as protons.
They are the last elements in each row on the periodic table.
They are all radioactive.
Their outer most energy levels are complete with 8 electrons.

The correct reason why the noble gases are the least reactive elements is:

Their outer most energy levels are complete with 8 electrons.

This complete outer shell of electrons makes them stable and less likely to react with other elements.
