Number of radial node in 3p orbital  =311=1 is its radial probability curve will meet the  x- axis only at one point and this is the case in curve (A) and (C) is either for 3p or  2s orbital. Also, as the shell number increases, the distance of maximum probability increases from the nucleus. Hence (C) is correct.
