D. option 2d
As 2d is no orbital that is sustaining.
d orbital starts with quantum number 3
check if the options are correct.

option no aturns out to be the correct option . "
as its a ground state . 
in any energy level if electron absorba photon of energy equal to the enrgy of electron in that level then electron is ejected from atom and no photon is emitted , "

option a as it is tje lowest energy state possible so electron can absorb photon but couldnot emit it
