$A$ hydrogen atom makes a transition from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ and emits a photon. This photon strikes a doubly ionized lithium atom $(Z = 3)$ in an excited state and completely removes the orbiting electron. The least quantum number for the excited state of the ion for this process is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $3$
