Silver is the element which is placed in the same period as Ruthenium but had a higher atomic number than it.
Hence, Option (C) is correct answer.
In periodic table there are 18 vertical column which is called groups which are arranged from left to right in the periodic table.
In periodic table there are 7 horizontal rows which is called periods.
Ruthenium is a chemical element. The symbol of Ruthenium is Ru. The atomic number of Ruthenium is 44. Ruthenium belongs to the period 5 in the periodic table.
Now lets check all options one by one:
Option (A): Bismuth
The atomic number of Bismuth is 83 which is higher than Ruthenium but Bismuth belongs to period 6.
So it is incorrect option.
Option (B): Osmium
The atomic number of Osmium is 76 which is higher than Ruthenium but Osmium belongs to period 6.
So it is incorrect option.
Option (C): Silver
The atomic number of Silver is 47 which is higher than Ruthenium and Silver belongs to the period 5.
So it is correct answer.
Option (D): Zirconium
The atomic number of Zirconium is 40 which is less than the Ruthenium.
So it is incorrect option.
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Silver is the element which is placed in the same period as Ruthenium but had a higher atomic number than it.
Hence, Option (C) is correct answer.
