Solution

The correct option is D independent of that orbit it is in
Gyromagnetic ratio = $\frac{m a g n e t i c m o m e n t}{a n g u l a r m o m e n t u m}$
= $\frac{n e h / 4 π m}{n h / 2 π}$ = $\frac{e}{2 m}$ =constant
Hence, gyromagnetic ratio is not dependent on the orbit and for electron, it is having negative value due to negative charge on electron.
