Solution : The correct option is Both Statements A and B are correct .

In p-block elements, the last electron is added to the outermost p orbital. The p-block includes elements whose outermost electrons are in the p subshell.

Non-metals and metalloids are found in the p-block of the periodic table. Metalloids, which have properties intermediate between metals and non-metals, are found in the p-block but can also be located in other blocks of the periodic table.
