+ 1/2 and - 1/2 just represents two quantum mechanical spin states which have no classical analogue.

D) two quantum mechanical spin states will have no classical analogues.Reason:Anticlockwise and clockwise has no significance in 3D space.

It denotes the spin of an electron moving in clockwise and anticlockwise directions where+1/2 represents clockwise and-1/2represents anticlockwise
