Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quantum number represented by K, L, M is the azimuthal quantum number, which corresponds to the shape of the orbital. It is denoted by the letter l and can have integer values ranging from 0 to n-1, where n is the principal quantum number. Therefore, option A, which represents the quantum number n, is the best choice. The other options do not correspond to the correct quantum number represented by K, L, M.
