Answer: The correct answer is it emits light.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an electron is present in ground level that is the lower energy level and moves to the higher energy level, the energy is provided to the electron which means that it absorbs light. This is known as absorption.

When an electron present in the higher energy level comes back to the lower energy level, it emits radiations in the form of light. This is known as emission.

Hence, the correct answer is it emits light.
