What is the excited state of an atom?

  • A
    $A$ state where the atom has more energy than its ground state.
  • B
    $A$ state where the atom has less energy than its ground state.
  • C
    $A$ state where the atom is ionized.
  • D
    $A$ state where the atom is in its lowest energy level.
