The correct answer is: Ultraviolet region
Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and result in ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as electron goes from $n \geq 2$ to $n=1$ (where $n$ is the principal quantum number) the lowest energy level of electron. Hence, it lies in ultraviolet region.
