Solution

The correct option is C Brackett

The Brackett series is a series of absorption or emission lines due to electron jumps between the fourth and higher energy levels of the hydrogen atom.

The electronic transition involves the transition to n=4 from some higher energy level.

Hence, option D is correct.
