The relationship between the number of visible spectral lines are identical for atoms .However they have unique wavelengths.

Option B

Explanation:

A spectrum is a range of frequencies or a range of wavelengths. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the difference between two states. For every atom there are quite many electron transitions and each has a energy difference.

This difference in wavelength causes spectrum .As each element emission spectrum is unique because each atom has different energy and causes uniqueness in the emission spectrum . Hence, due to the difference in energy it emits different wavelengths.
