B
In the first two columns on the left side
C

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the periodic table is divided into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties.
Recognize that metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Identify the zig-zag (staircase) line on the periodic table, which separates metals on the left from nonmetals on the right.
Know that metalloids are located along this zig-zag line, acting as a boundary between metals and nonmetals.
Therefore, the metalloids are not in the far right column, the first two columns on the left, or the separated bottom rows, but along the zig-zag line.
