Answers (1)
As we have learnt, Octet rule is based upon chemical inertness of noble gases. Since the number of
outermost electrons influences the chemical behavior of an atom, the number of eight so-called valence electrons (or two in the case of helium) means a particularly stable electron occupation. Based on the noble gases with their eight valence electrons (exception: helium), the effort to achieve the noble gas configuration is also called the octet rule.

Hence option number (2) is correct.
