The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Number of angular nodes = \(l\) and number of radial nodes = \(n-l-1\).
Two angular nodes means \(l=2\), i.e. a d orbital.
Two radial nodes: \(n-2-1=2\), so \(n=5\).
The orbital is 5d.
Check others: 3p has \(l=1\), radial nodes \(=3-1-1=1\); 4d has radial nodes \(=4-2-1=1\); 4f has \(l=3\), radial nodes \(=4-3-1=0\).
Answer: (2) 5d
