    Explanation:

    Hello,

    Quantum numbers for the highest energy level of cobalt are correct, because n matches with the considered sub-orbital 3, l matches with the d region that has a value of 2 based on the rule: if region=s, l=0; if region=p, l=1; if region=d, l=2 and if region=f, l=3 and the ml goes from - 2 to 2 including zero by taking into account the l quantum number. The rest of the options are wrong since the quantum numbers don't match with the corresponding orbitals.

    Best regards.
