Step-by-step explanation:

A p orbital would have a du-bbell shape.

Options A and B show a spherical shape, which are for s orbitals.

Option D shows a double du-bbell / clover leaf shape, which is for d orbitals.

The answer is Option C.

P.S. The word is censored apparently, so be forgiving! Thanks~
