Based on the positions of elements A, B, and C in the periodic table, it can be inferred that A and C are likely to be nonmetals while B is likely to be a metal. Therefore, a chemical reaction between B and C (Option B) or A and B (Option A) is less likely to occur as nonmetals are less likely to react with metals. Option C shows a reaction between A (nonmetal) and C (nonmetal) which is the most likely to occur. Option D cannot be verified without further information.
