Solution

The correct option is C Lyman series
The spectral lines corresponding to the radiation emitted by an electron jumping from higher orbits to first orbit belong to Lyman 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.
