Final answer:

The specific charge of an orbital electron is l/m. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific charge of an orbital electron can be calculated using the formula: specific charge = magnetic moment / angular momentum. Therefore, for an electron with magnetic moment m and angular momentum l, the specific charge would be m / l. So, the correct answer is b) l/m.
