Which of the following orbitals are degenerate?

$3 d_{xy}, 4 d_{xy}, 3 d_{z^{2}}, 3 d_{yz}, 4 d_{yz}, 4 d_{z^{2}}$

The orbitals which belongs to same subshell and same shell are called degenerate orbitals.

(3 d_{xy}, 3 d_{z^{2}}, 3 d_{yz})

and

(4 d_{xy}, 4 d_{yz}, 4 d_{z^{2}})

are the two sets of degenerate orbitals.
