The correct response is:
**returning to their ground energy states**
When electrons in atoms absorb energy, they are excited to a higher energy level. When they return to their ground state, they emit energy, often in the form of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light).
**returning to their ground energy states**
When electrons in atoms absorb energy, they are excited to a higher energy level. When they return to their ground state, they emit energy, often in the form of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light).
