Explanation:

Halogens are elements in Group 17 of the periodic table. Let's analyze each option:

• I (Iodine): Iodine is in Group 17 (halogens) and Period 5.
• Xe (Xenon): It is a noble gas (Group 18), not a halogen.
• Sb (Antimony): It is in Group 15, not a halogen.
• N (Nitrogen): In Group 15, not a halogen.
• P (Phosphorus): In Group 15, not a halogen.

So the halogen in Period 5 is Iodine with symbol I.

A. I
