In the given figure,the energy levels of a hydrogen atom have been shown along with some transitions marked $A, B, C, D$ and $E$. The transitions $A, B$ and $C$ respectively represent:

  • A
    The ionization potential of hydrogen,second member of Balmer series and third member of Paschen series.
  • B
    The first member of the Lyman series,third member of Balmer series and second member of Paschen series.
  • C
    The series limit of Lyman series,third member of Balmer series and second member of Paschen series.
  • D
    The series limit of Lyman series,second member of Balmer series and second member of Paschen series.
