quantum numbers are those which tells the values of the conserved quantities of quantum system
As there are certain rules for quantum numbers one of them is that the
l should be neccessary be an integer between 0 and n-1
so the option 6, -5, -1, 1/2 violate this rule and doesnot obey this ruleso option C is correct for above statement
hope it helps
