Solution

The correct option is B are in the same orbital of the same subshell with opposite spins
An electron is associated with a set of four quantum numbers:
1. Principle quantum number (n): tells about the size of orbital
2. Azimuthal quantum number (l): tells about the shape of orbital
3. Magnetic quantum number (ml):tells about orientation of orbital
4. Spin quantum number (ms):tells about electron spin and can have value +1/2 and 1/2
Therefore electrons with same n,l,ml will be in the same orbital but with opposite spins.
Option C is correct
