Answer:

3 orbitals

Step-by-step explanation:

The p sublevel can carry a maximum of 6 electrons. Therefore it must be made of 3 orbitals which each, as in any orbital of any other sublevel, can carry 2 electrons. So there is a p sub x orbital, p sub y orbital and p sub z orbital which are all orthogonal to each other.
