Excited
state is the name of the state when electrons absorb energy and move to
a higher energy level.
In quantum mechanics, an excited state of
a system (such as an atom, molecule or nucleus) is any quantumstate of
the system that has a higher energy than the ground state (that is, more energy than the
absolute minimum).
The correct answer between all
the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this
answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your
