Solution

The correct option is A
$s > p > d > f$

Screening effect, also known as the shielding effect, reduces the effect of the nucleus on the outer electrons i.e. inner electrons acts as a shield and reduce the electrostatic interaction between the nucleus and outermost electrons.

The correct order of orbitals in a given shell for the screening effect is $s > p > d > f$ , i.e., s-orbital has the highest shielding effect whereas f-orbital has the least shielding effect.
