Solution

The correct option is B Balmer series
The spectral lines corresponding to the radiation emitted by an electron jumping from 6th, 5th and 4th orbits to the second orbit belong to Balmer series.
Lyman series corresponds to transitions to $n = 1$ level.
Balmer series corresponds to transitions to $n = 2$ level.
Paschen series corresponds to transitions to $n = 3$ level.
Pfund series corresponds to transitions to $n = 4$ level.
