The highest energy of an atom is described by (n+l) rule and it is as follows: The electron which has higher (n+l) has higher energy. If suppose both the (n+l) are equal, then whichever electron has higher n has higher energy. If both (n+l) are same and n is also same, they are called degenerate orbitals.
In the question, two degenerate orbitals are there which are (a),(b). Thus both have highest energy in the given sets.
