What happens after an excited electron jumps from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It permanently stays in that energy level. It returns to the lower energy level with the emission of a lepton. It returns to the lower energy level with the emission of a photon. It returns to the lower energy level without any emission.

i would like to say B

OpenStudy (matt101):

The answer is C. Photons of light are emitted when electrons move from a higher to a lower energy lever (the energy difference goes into producing a photon of the corresponding frequency).

OpenStudy (matt101):

A lepton is a class of elementary particle. An electron is an example of a lepton.

alright i tried that it said it they jump down while emitting light
