answer: 1) 4
explnation:   n    l     n+l
                   7    0     7
                   6    1     7
                   5    2     7
                   4    3     7 
We cannot proceed further to n=3,l=4 because value of l is always less than n
therefore there are four possible subshells , i.e., 7s,6p,5d,4f
