Detailed Solution

The lobes of orbital(s) does not lie in the nodal plane of dz2 is, dx2y2dxydxy

Nodal planes of the orbital plane dz2:

Azimuthal quantum number, or “ l ”, has a value of 2 for the d orbital. Thus, the primary quantum number n has a minimum value of 3. It is not possible for  l  to exceed n1 in value.

Therefore, the dz2 orbital lacks a nodal plane.

Hence, option D is correct.
