Answer

Lyman series.

Work Step by Step

The transition was from $n=2$ down to $n=1$ so it's in the Lyman series. The Balmer series of wavelengths are jumps up from $n = 2$ (absorption) or down to $n = 2$ (emission). The Paschen series of wavelengths are jumps up from $n = 3$ (absorption) or down to $n = 3$ (emission)
