Answer:

2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal quantum number shows the energy of an electron. It is represented by letter n.

The formula that is used to find the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a principal energy level is given by :

M = 2n²

Where n is principal quantum number associated with that energy level.

Hence, the correct option is (a).
