Which of the following orbitals are degenerate?

3d_{xy},4d_{xy},3d_{{z}^{2}},3d_{yz},4d_{yz},4d_{{z}^{2}}

Orbitals with the same shells and sub-shells are known as degenerate orbitals. From the given options, the options that represent degenerate orbitals due to the same main shell, i.e. n=3 are 3d_{xy},3d_{z^{2}},3d_{yz}

Moreover, 4d_{xy},4d_{yz},4d_{z^{2}}  represent degenerate orbitals due to the same value of n = 4.
