The best description of orbitals is:
a three-dimensional space where an electron spends most of its time with no more than 1 other electron, forming a pair.
This option highlights the probability distribution of an electron within a specific area of space around the nucleus, describing it as a region where the presence of the electron is most likely, and also considers electron pairing in terms of the Pauli exclusion principle.
