Solution

The correct option is A spherical in shape
Spherical shape implies s orbital, $l = 0.$
Dumb bell shape implies p orbital , $l = 1.$

Double dumb bell shape implies d orbital, $l = 2.$
Tetrahedral orbitals are formed in $s p^{3}$ hybridisation.
Also m values for an orbital vary between $- l t o + l .$
