ANSWER

Ground state

EXPLANATION;

Ground-state atom is an atom in which the total energy of the electrons cannot be lowered by transferring one or more electrons to different orbitals.

This implies that, in the ground-state atom all electrons are in their lowest possible energy level.

Hence, the correct answer is ground state.
