Solution

The correct option is C 11
$M^{t h}$ shell is $n = 3$
So, for $n = 3$ , following orbitals are possible
$3 s, 3 p, 3 d$
Now, nodes can be given as
$o r b i t a l n o d e s 3 s = 0 3 p_{x} = 1 3 p_{y} = 1 3 p_{z} = 1 3 d_{x y} = 2 3 d_{y z} = 2 3 d_{z x} = 2 3 d_{x^{2} - y^{2}} = 2 3 d_{z}^{2} = 0$

Hence, Total no. of nodal planes
$= 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 0 = 11$
