Answer
d. Their stability is increased
Explanation
1. Identify the octet rule's effect The octet rule states atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve 8 valence electrons, increasing stability.2. Eliminate incorrect options Atoms do not become new elements (a), nor always have 8 total electrons (b), nor always have 8 valence electrons (c).3. Select correct outcome Achieving an octet increases atomic stability.
