Detailed Solution

The correct set of four quantum numbers for valence electron of Rubidium (Z = 37) is :  5,0,0,+12.

Rubidium's electronic structure is 

1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s1
In light of this, the rubidium valence shell has:
Quantum number (n) in principle equals 5.
The azimuthal quantum number (l) equals 0.
m1 = 0 is the magnetic quantum number.
The spin quantum number could be = ±12

Hence, option A is correct.
