**Orbital Representation and Identification**

**Question:**
The picture below is a representation of a set of:

**Image Description:**
- The diagram in the image displays a set of four symmetrical lobes originating from a central point, which is characteristic of a certain type of atomic orbital.

**Answer Options:**
1. sp orbitals
2. sp² orbitals
3. sp³ orbitals
4. p orbitals
5. sp⁴ orbitals

**Answer Choices:**
- The following choices are provided for selection:
  - ○ 3
  - ○ 4
  - ○ 5
  - ○ 1
  - ○ 2

**Explanation of the Diagram:**
- The diagram shows a traditional "flower-shaped" orbital, typical of d-orbitals in a set. Each lobe represents a region of space where the probability of finding an electron is higher.
  
Given the shape, it closely resembles the geometry associated with either d-orbitals or hybrid sp³ orbitals, which clarify the multiple lobes extending out in different angular directions.

**Intended Answer:**
- Based on the options given, it seems the correct choice aligns with the properties characteristic of "d orbitals," which are commonly denoted by the symmetrical four-lobed structure depicted in the image.

**Conclusion:**
- Choose the option: 
  - ○ 4 (p orbitals)
