Light emitted during the de excitation of electron from 
to

The photoelectric effect is possible when light of sufficient energy incident on metal surface. When electron de-excites from 
to 
, the light produces photoelectric effect. So, for the given options, the photoelectric effect is not possible for that level in which energy of emitted light is less than that for 
to 
. Since, 
Hence, photoelectric effect is not possible from 
to 
.
