Explanation:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), stable systems tend to have lower energy states because lower energy implies less potential for change or instability. Atoms that are stable have lower energy as higher energy states are more likely to be associated with reactive or unstable configurations.

Answer:

b. lower
