(B) In Bohr's model for a hydrogen atom,the energy levels are given by $E_n = -\frac{13.6 	ext{ eV}}{n^2}$. As the electron transitions to a higher level ($n$ increases),$E$ increases (becomes less negative).For a hydrogen-like atom,the kinetic energy is $K = -E = \frac{13.6 	ext{ eV}}{n^2}$. As $n$ increases,$K$ decreases.The potential energy is $P = 2E = -\frac{27.2 	ext{ eV}}{n^2}$. As $n$ increases,the magnitude of $P$ decreases,meaning $P$ becomes less negative,so $P$ increases.Therefore,as the electron moves to a higher energy level,$K$ decreases,while $P$ and $E$ increase.

In Bohr's atomic model of hydrogen,let $K$,$P$ and $E$ be the kinetic energy,potential energy and total energy of the electron,respectively. Choose the correct option when the electron undergoes transitions to a higher level.
