Ane excited atom decays to its ground state and emits a photon of green light if instead the atom decays to an intermediate state the light emitted could be :A - violet B - white C - blue D - red .

Red. The energy of red light is lower than the energy of green light. If the atom goes to an intermediate state it must be lower in energy than the direct state.

What the guy above me pronounced, different than that it could no longer be blue, as blue easy has extra potential than eco-friendly easy. it could desire to emit a photon of something with much less potential (it is, an prolonged wavelength) than eco-friendly easy, like pink easy, infrared, or radio waves.

Red.
It has to be less energetic than a green photon, and red is the only answer up there that fits.
