    n = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A d subshell has a secondary quantum number, l = 2.

    The allowed values for l are 0, 1, 2, 3, ... n - 1.

    We can write this mathematically as

    l ≤ n - 1 Add 1 to each side

    l + 1 ≤ n Reverse the inequality

    n ≥ l + 1

    Thus, if l = 2, n ≥ 3

    Thus, the lowest energy level where you can find a d subshell is n = 3.
