Correct answer: C. Is in the visible region
- A. Is the only one for which the quantum theory be used
- B. Is the only series that occurs for hydrogen
- C. Is in the visible region
- D. Involves the lowest possible quantum number "n"
Explanation
Balmar series is the only series that lies in visible region.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
