According to the quantum mechanical model of the hydrogen atom, the angular momentum quantum number (l) can range from 0 to (n-1). Therefore, for a given value of n, there are n different possible values of the angular momentum quantum number (l), ranging from 0 to (n-1). So, the correct answer is option B) n.
