Detailed Solution

An electron in an orbital of high angular momentum stays away from the nucleus than an electron in the orbital of lower angular momentum.

According to Bohr's theory, angular momentum is an integral multiple of h2π .Hence, the ground state angular momentum is h equal to h2π
Statements b and c are incorrect. As we know the principal quantum number depends on size whereas azimuthal quantum number doesn't depend on size.
