Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the relation
`Delta E prop (1)/(lambda) prop v prop [(1)/(n_(L)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(u)^(2))]`
In hydrogen atom the emission of the least energetic photon take place only when change in energy is minimum. This is possible for an electron that is present in n = 6 and jumps to n = 5.
