From the probability density shown, we can identify the number of nodes in the wave function as 1, indicating an l value of 1. Therefore, the correct value of 11eb1367_50f7_852b_8021_b5b68d7c9dab_TB7291_11 is 1. Additionally, we can see that the density is symmetric about the xz-plane, indicating that the m value must be 0. Finally, the wave function reaches its maximum on the xy-plane, indicating that the value of n must be 2. Therefore, the correct set of quantum numbers is n = 2, 11eb1367_50f7_852b_8021_b5b68d7c9dab_TB7291_11 = 1, m = 0.
