Assuming the third quantum number is the question is the magnetic quantum number, it is limited by the angular momentum quantum number. This is inditaced in the quastion: since the orbital is 4p, the "p" indicates that the angular momentum quantum number is 1.

The magnetic quantum number can only be -1, 0 or +1.

The only alternative with one os these is alternative A.
