I believe its the last one

you might want to google it, I'm a chemistry major  and I have forgotten a lot. All I can tell you is that white light is basically a rainbow. Dark line doesn't make sense. Continuous would better describe the emission of Xe (much more lines). Hydrogen only has one electron= little possibility= less lines.
