The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Expression for orbital angular momentum (L) is
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, L=\sqrt{l(l +1)} \frac{h}{2 \pi}=0 \, \, \, \, \, $ for 2s-electrons
$\because \, \, $ For s-orbital, l= 0.

Concepts Used:

Momentum

It can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it is called as momentum.

the momentum of an object is the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object.

Momentum = mass • velocity

The above equation can be rewritten as

p = m • v

where m is the mass and v is the velocity. 

Momentum is a vector quantity and  the direction of the of the vector is the same as the direction that an object.
