D Correct answer
Explanation

this option is correct because , according to pauli exclusion principal - no two electrons in an atom can have same sets of 4 quantum number . this shows that no 2 electrons in an atom are alike or orbital can be accommodate a maximum of two electrons that too with opposite spin . hence this option is correct .
