<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct answer is option C which is, "Electrons in the orbit closest to the nucleus have the least amount of energy".
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- There are different orbitals around the nucleus on which the electrons moves around the nucleus.
- These orbitals have a specific energy, due to which they are known as energy levels.
- The energy level near to the nucleus has least amount of the energy and the energy of the orbitals increase as the distance of the orbitals increase to the nucleus.
