Solution

To determine the classification of an element with electronic configuration 2,8,4, we need to analyze the number of valence electrons.

In this case, the element has 4 valence electrons, which means it is located in Group 14 of the periodic table.

Elements in Group 14 can be classified as either metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.

Since the element in question has a combination of both metallic and nonmetallic properties, it is classified as a metalloid.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) metalloid.
