The correct answer is: 3

The number of radial nodes for an orbital with principal quantum number n and azimuthal quantum number l is given by the expression:

Number of radial nodes = n - l - 1

Using this expression, we can determine the number of radial nodes for each of the given atomic orbitals:

7s:n=7,l=0  7-0-1=6
7p:n=7,l=1  7-1-1=5
6s:n=6,l=0  6-0-1=5
8p:n=8,l=1  8-1-1=6
8d:n=8,l=2  8-2-1=5

Therefore, the atomic orbitals with 5 radial nodes are 7p, 6s, and 8d.
