Answer:

C. The atom is in the ground state

A ground-state atom is an atom in which the total energy of the electrons can not be lowered by transferring one or more electrons to different orbitals. That is, in a ground-state atom, all electrons are in the lowest possible energy levels. ... Therefore, this carbon atom is a ground-state atom.
