In an investigation of atomic architecture, a researcher examines a principal energy level that possesses exactly three distinct sublevels. To model electron distributions within this specific level, the researcher must identify its constituent sublevel with the highest relative energy. Which of the following correctly identifies this highest-energy sublevel and its maximum electron capacity?

A) 3p sublevel, with a maximum capacity of 6 electrons

B) 3f sublevel, with a maximum capacity of 14 electrons

C) 3d sublevel, with a maximum capacity of 10 electrons

D) 3s sublevel, with a maximum capacity of 2 electrons
