Given below are the quantum numbers for $4$ electrons.
$A. \; n = 3, l = 2, m_l = 1, m_s = +1/2$
$B. \; n = 4, l = 1, m_l = 0, m_s = +1/2$
$C. \; n = 4, l = 2, m_l = -2, m_s = -1/2$
$D. \; n = 3, l = 1, m_l = -1, m_s = +1/2$
The correct order of increasing energy is

  • A
    $D < B < A < C$
  • B
    $D < A < B < C$
  • C
    $B < D < A < C$
  • D
    $B < D < C < A$
