Final answer:

The allowed values of ml for a given value of n in a p-type orbital are -1, 0, and +1. For the given values of m, n, and p, any numerical value is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The allowed values of ml for a given value of n in a p-type orbital are -1, 0, and +1. The three p orbitals are degenerate, meaning they have the same energy level, so any of these ml values is correct. For unpaired electrons, convention assigns the value of +1/2 for the spin quantum number.

For the given values of m=___, n=___, and p=___, the correct answer is d) Any numerical value.
