Answer

Option A= 2

Explanation

Atomic Number of Nickel (Ni) = 28

Electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d8

By definition, the highest principle quantum number is the valence shell. In the case of Nickel, n = 4 is the highest QN and contains 2 electrons (max allowed) in the s-orbital.
