Question Analysis
This question tests the student's understanding of the maximum electron capacity of p sublevels.

Key Concept Explanation
Each p sublevel consists of three degenerate orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons. Therefore, the maximum number of electrons in a p sublevel is 6.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the type of sublevel: 4p.
2. Recall that a p sublevel has 3 orbitals.
3. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons, so the maximum number of electrons in a p sublevel is 3 × 2 = 6.
4. Therefore, the maximum numbe...
