The Pauli Exclusion Principle stipulates that no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This means that the magnitude of the spin angular momentum of any fermion must be one of the spin quantum numbers allowed by the principle, which are all half-integers (e.g. 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, etc.). Choice B (11eb6adc_ed95_d16f_b0cf_03b62ec76c6a_TB8245_11) is the only option with a half-integer spin quantum number (1/2).
