Answer
Correct option: B.

In Mendeleev's, periodic table groups were divided into two subgroups.
Groups from $\ce{I}$ to $\ce{VII}$ are meant for normal elements, and group $\ce{VIII}$ is for transition elements.
Groups $\ce{I}$ to $\ce{VII}$ have been divided into two subgroups while group $\ce{VIII}$ is meant for three elements.
So the eighth group in Mendeleev's periodic table was not divided into any group.
