To identify the orbital, we start by linking the given quantum numbers to orbital types.

Option 3d: This would require l = 2, since d orbitals correspond to l = 2. Here l = 3, so a 3d designation is inconsistent with the given l value.

Option 4f: The letter f corresponds to l = 3. Since n = 4 and l = 3, the principal and azimuthal quantum numbers align with a 4f orbital. The subshell notation 4f is appropriate because the principal quantum number tells us the shell (n = 4), and the azimuthal quantum number (l = 3) tells us the subshell type (f).

Option 4s: The s subshell has l = 0. With l = 3, an s designation cannot occur for these quantum numbers, so 4s is not possible.

Option 4p: The p subshell has l = 1. Since l = 3 here, a p designation would be incorrect for this set of quantum numbers, ruling out 4p.

Option 4d: The d subshell corresponds to l = 2. Given l = 3, a d designation would not match; thus 4d is not compatible with the provided quantum numbers.

Overall, the only option that matches both n = 4 and l = 3 is a 4f orbital, because the combination n = 4 defines the shell and l = 3 defines the f subshell. The magnetic quantum number ml = 0 is allowed within the f set (ranging from -3 to +3), and the spin projection ms = -1/2 describes the electron's spin, which does not change the subshell designation, only the spin state of the electron within that orbital.
