Answer:

C. The number of electron in an energy level

Explanation: In the quantum-mechanical model of an atom, electrons in the same atom that have the same principal quantum number (n) or principal energy level are said to occupy an electron shell of the atom. Orbitals define regions in space where you are likely to find electrons.
