Choices a, b, and d are not written properly
and,
there is nothing wrong with choice c

Explanation:

Choice a, b, and d are all not correct valence electron configurations when writing the valence electron shorthand.

Choice a is incorrect because for $n=2, l=0$ there are only two orbital about the ( $s$ ) subshell.

Choice b is incorrect because two " $2s^2$ " orbital are written and the next two electron would instead fill the $n=2,l=1$ ( $p$ ) shell and its 3 orbital.

Choice d is incorrect because for $n=1$ , $l$ can only $=0$ . Remember that $l$ can have value between $0 -> n-1$ .

In other words, there is no such thing as a " $1p$ " orbital.
