Hydrogen spectral series

From the above, [A] is the spectral series of hydrogen, on a logarithmic scale, and [B] is a schematic diagram of the energy levels of a hydrogen atom, where λ 1 \lambda_1 , λ 2 \lambda_2 and λ 3 \lambda_3 are the wavelengths of the electromagnetic waves released when the electron transition from n = 3 n=3 to n = 2 , n=2, or from n = 2 n=2 to n = 1 , n=1, or from n = 3 n=3 to n = 1 , n=1, occurs, respectively, according to the Bohr's atomic model. Which of the following statements is correct?

a) The wavelength λ 1 \lambda_1 in [B] belongs to the visible light range in [A].

b) The wavelength λ 3 \lambda_3 in [B] belongs to the Paschen series in [A].

c) The energy of photon with the wavelength of λ 1 \lambda_1 in [B] is larger than the energy of photon with the wavelength of λ 2 \lambda_2 in [B]

a) and b) a) only c) only b) only
