Solution

The correct option is D 4p
The principle quantum number n=4, represents the fourth orbit. A subshell is the set of states defined by a common azimuthal quantum number l, within a shell. The values l=0,1,2,3 correspond to the s, p, d, and f shells, respectively. Hence, n=4, l=1 represents 4p subshell.
