B.

2n

C.

3n²

D.

2n²

Correct option is D


The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n², where n is the principal quantum number of the shell. This formula determines the electron capacity of each shell in an atom. For example, the first shell (n=1) can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell (n=2) can hold up to 8 electrons, and so on.
