Answer 1

Answer:

A. absorbs light

Explanation:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy needs to be added to the atom.

In most cases this required energy will be light: The electron of the atom will absorb the energy of the light and move to a higher energy level.

When said electron comes back to the lower energy level, the atom will conversely give off light.
