(A) The maximum number of unpaired electrons in the $4p$ subshell is $3$,which corresponds to the $4p^3$ configuration.The electronic configuration for this element is $1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6, 4s^2, 3d^{10}, 4p^3$.Summing the electrons: $2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 3 = 33$.Therefore,the atomic number is $33$.
