The allowed values of 11ea7ff9_2c6a_eb12_a768_05b11344d456_TB2295_11 do not provide any information about the energy levels in a Li²⁺ ion. Therefore, we need to refer to the given options of energy levels. The n = 3 shell in a Li²⁺ ion can have values of L ranging from 0 to 2 (S, P, D). Therefore, the allowed values of 11ea7ff9_2c6a_eb12_a768_05b11344d456_TB2295_11 for this shell will be the possible values of J, which can be 0, 1, or 2. Hence, the best choice is C, i.e., 0, 1, and 2.
