    d) (n = 3, l = 1, mₗ = - 1)

    Explanation:

    A 3p orbital must have n = 3.

    That eliminates Option (a), because it has n = 1.

    A p orbital must have l = 1.

    That eliminates Options (b), (c), and (e), because they have l = 3, 2, and 0.

    The only correct option is

    n = 3, l = 1, mₗ = - 1
