An electron initially present in an excited state of $H$ atom is further excited to another energy level by an incident photon. It releases $10$ photons while coming back to the ground state,out of which $7$ have higher energy than the incident photon. The electron was initially present in:

  • A
    $1^{st}$ excited state
  • B
    $2^{nd}$ excited state
  • C
    $3^{rd}$ excited state
  • D
    $4^{th}$ excited state
