How many quantum numbers describe the spherically symmetric potential field of an electron?

How many quantum numbers describe the spherically symmetric potential field of an electron? Correct Answer Four

Because of the different energies and other properties of electron orbitals, electron in a spherically symmetric potential field can be described by four quantum numbers all together, which applies to hydrogen-like atoms only.
