B. an atom's outer energy level doesnt have maximum number of electrons

Explanation:

Because an atom always need to have a full octet so that it can stabilise ... So an atom tends to ... share ... donate ... or gain electrons ... in which this is done by forming bonds ... so that it can attain a stable octet
