Correct answer is:

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is Seven.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.
