Solution

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of subshells in a shell. In atomic physics, subshells are the different energy levels within a shell where electrons can be found.

The number of subshells in a shell is determined by the shell number. Each shell is labeled with a principal quantum number (n), starting from 1 for the innermost shell. The number of subshells in a shell is equal to the value of n.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is b. Shell number. The number of subshells in a shell is equal to its shell number.
