Explanation:

Metalloids are located along the zig - zag diagonal line (the staircase) on the periodic table, separating metals (left) and non - metals (right). The option "right side" is incorrect as non - metals are on the right. The correct option should be "zig - zag diagonal line". But among the given options, if we have to correct the chosen one, the right answer for the location of metalloids is the "zig - zag diagonal line" option. However, based on the question's options, the mistake here is that the chosen "right side" is wrong. The correct option is the one with "zig - zag diagonal line".

Answer:

The correct option is the one with "zig - zag diagonal line" (the fourth option in the list: $\boldsymbol{\circ}$ zig - zag diagonal line)
