For 5f orbital ,we can say
Here, n=5 and l=3(f has l=3)
 
And m can have any value ranging from -l to +l (including 0).
 
So here m can be -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.
 
So according to the above data , we can say
option (d) is correct!

for f orbital L=3 
in your question (c) and (d) are following this
but also m  must be ranging from -L to +L
so this is only happening in option d
so, option(d) is correct
