Question

Given below are two statements: Statement-I: The orbitals having same energy are called as degenerate orbitals. Statement-II: In hydrogen atom, 3p and 3d orbitals are not degenerate orbitals. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given

(A) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
(B) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
(C) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false
(D) Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
