Nodal plane =  l
So in all option nodal plane is 0 except 3 because it has 1 nodal plane 
So correct option is 1

A plane passing through the nucleus on which the probability of finding electron is zero, is called a nodal plane. The number of nodal planes in an orbital is equal to azimuthal quantum number(l).

Only option C has value l=1. Hence, nodal plane is found in L shell and p orbital.
