In any subshell, the maximum number of electrons having the same value of spin quantum number is

0.l(l+1)

1.l + 2

2.2l + 1

3.4l + 2

Explanation

Each subshell with azimuthal quantum number l has (2l+1) orbitals. Each orbital can hold one electron of a given spin. So maximum electrons with same spin = 2l + 1.
