You picked right, as I'm absolutely sure about this one:

 

The answer would be A: Helium, which comes from the name Helios, given to the Greek Titan of Sun, ans serves as a prefyx in some languages for sun related words.

Plus, Hydro is associated with water (hydration, hydroelectric, etc.), Argon is a old Spanish Kingdom and the name of Jason’s vessel, and Lithium just seems wrong 

 

Also, people sometimes confuse Helios and Apollo (saying that Helios is the Sun God and Apollo is something else), but the easiest way to remember that is by thinking about the flame lighting ceremony for the Olympics. The High Preistess “prays” to Apollo, not to Helios

Lithium comes from "lithos" meaning stone. Hence words like "lithosphere".
