Answer:

5

Explanation:

The d subshell has 5 orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Hund's rule tells us that every orbital in a sub-level must first be singly occupied by electrons before any orbital is doubly occupied. Therefore five electrons will fill the five orbitals within the d subshell.
