(A) The group of elements that could be placed in Mendeleev's Periodic Table without disturbing the original order is the Noble gases.
Reason:
$1$. Mendeleev's periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses.
$2$. Noble gases are chemically inert and possess very low reactivity due to their stable electronic configuration.
$3$. Because they do not react with other elements,they could be placed in a separate group (Group $0$ or $VIII$) without requiring any changes to the positions of the existing elements in the table.
