The 5d orbital has orbital angular momentum $6 ℏ$ and 2 radial nodes. Which of the following orbitals have the same orbital angular momentum but strictly fewer radial nodes?

A3d
B4d
C6d
D5p

Answer: A, B

Same

L

requires

l = 2

: 3d, 4d, 6d. Radial nodes: 3d 0, 4d 1, 6d 3 (more than 2). 5p has

L = 2 ℏ

. So 3d and 4d.
