For some one-electron system with $l = 0$ and $m = 0$, the functions $N_o e^{-\sigma}$ and $N_1(2-\sigma)e^{-\sigma}$ refer respectively to the ground ($E_o$) and first excited ($E_1$) energy levels. If a variational wave function $N_2(3-\sigma)e^{-\sigma}$ yields an average energy $\bar{E}$, it will satisfy
(a)$\bar{E} \geq 0$
(b)$0 \leq \bar{E} \leq E_o$
(c)$\bar{E} \geq E_1$
(d)$E_o \leq \bar{E} \leq E_1$
