Solution

The correct option is A f>d>p>s
For a given value of n (principal quantum number), the energy of different subshells can be arranged in the order of
f>d>p>s
For a given value of n (principal quantum number), the energy of different subshells increases with increase in the value of the azimuthal quantum number (l).
The value of the azimuthal quantum number (l) for s,p, d and f orbitals is 0, 1, 2 and 3.
