Detailed Solution

Degenerate orbitals means the orbitals of the same subshell of the same main shell, i.e. their n and l values should be same for both the given sets:(a) (i) 3dxy                  (ii) 3dyz(b) (i) 3 px        (ii) 3dxyc) (i) 4 s           (ii) 3dxy(d) (i) 3dx2-y2    (ii) 3dx2-y2Thus, 3dxy and 3dyz; 3dx2-y2 and 3dx2-y2 represent pair of degenerate orbitals.
