The potential combines a harmonic term and an angular dependence, which leads to a specific form of the energy levels. The task involves solving the Schr\u00f6dinger equation in polar coordinates and identifying the correct energy expression from the provided candidates. The correct answer is E = (2n_x+n_y+3/2)\u210f*sqrt(k/m), which reflects the quantization of energy levels in this system."}
