(N/A) The number of radial nodes is given by the formula $(n - l - 1)$.
For $p$-orbitals,the azimuthal quantum number $l = 1$.
For $2p$ $(n=2)$: $2 - 1 - 1 = 0$.
For $3p$ $(n=3)$: $3 - 1 - 1 = 1$.
For $4p$ $(n=4)$: $4 - 1 - 1 = 2$.
For $5p$ $(n=5)$: $5 - 1 - 1 = 3$.
Thus,the number of radial nodes are $0, 1, 2,$ and $3$ respectively.
