Solution

The correct option is A 1
A plane passing through the nucleus on which the probability of finding an electron is zero is called a nodal plane. The number of nodal planes in an orbital is equal to the azimuthal quantum number $(l)$ .
Therefore, for $4 p$ orbital $l = 1$ .
Number of nodal planes $= 1$
