The quantum numbers for the last valence electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).
The electron configuration of nickel is [Ar]4s²3d⁸
The last electron added is a 3d electron, so <em>n</em> = 3 and <em>l</em> = 2.
We construct a table of quantum numbers.

Sc 3 2 2 +½
Ti 3 2 1 +½
V 3 2 0 +½
Cr 3 2 -1 +½
Mn 3 2 -2 +½
Fe 3 2 2 -½
Co 3 2 1 -½
Ni 3 2 0 -½
The quantum numbers for the last electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).
They're only found in the nucleus and play an important role in keeping the atom stable because they carry a negative charge to counteract the proton's positive charge.
Answer:
C. C, because it’s the highest of all four and C is 2,5 which is medium but the highest one.
