Explanation:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), stable atoms tend to have lower energy states because systems in nature tend to move towards lower energy for greater stability (like how a ball rolls down a hill to a lower - energy position). Higher energy states are less stable as they are more likely to change or react to reach a lower energy state.

Answer:

b. lower
