The answer should be A, the number of electrons increases by 1, from left to right.

Across the periods (horizontal direction) in periodic table, each element has one more electron then the one before it. The number of period determines the number of occupied electron shells of the elements in that period. Which means, period 1 elements have 1 occupied electron shell, period 2 has 2, period 3 has 3 etc.

Therefore, the answer is A, we always go from left to right, and plus since period 2 elements only have 2 occupied electrons so their 2nd electron shell electrons must increase throughout the period.
