Provide the complete set of quantum numbers for all the electrons that could populate the 3d subshell of an atom.

My answer: n = 5, l = 4, ml = -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ms = -1/2 or 1/2

Am I correct or did I make a mistake?

I believe you need to regroup. If it's the 3d orbital then n = 3. Isn't that right?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 etc.
