The change in energy level was experienced by the electron that moved from a higher to a lower level. This does not affect the nucleus, so the nucleus itself does not change energy levels. It takes more energy to hold an electron at a higher than a lower energy level, so the change in energy levels means that some energy was released by the electron, and this is choice (2).
