Detailed Solution

A plane passing through the nucleus on which the probability of finding electron is zero, is called a nodal plane.  The number of nodal planes in an orbital is equal to azimuthal quantum number(l). 

For d orbitals azimuthal quantum number is 2. Therefore, d orbital has two nodal planes.
