the line spectrum of the hydrogen spectrum indicates that only certain energies are allowed for the electron of the hydrogen atom. In other words, the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom is quantized.

656nm (red), 486nm (green), 434nm (indigo) and 410nm (purple)

I think, it is an individual line. Not continuos. Also, Bohr's model of the atom, Which claimed electron exist in orbit, could be used to explain the spectrum of Hydrogen.

Does the line spectrum of water vapor bear any resemblance to the line spectra of hydrogen and oxygen?

Yes there will be. This is because when you take line spectrum of water vapor, then hydrogen and oxygen atoms will form their own line spectra and the final spectrum will be a combination of the two.

Why is the emission spectrum of hydrogen a line spectrum and not a continuous spectrum?

It's a line spectrum because of the quantization of energy- meaning you only see energy with levels n=1,2,3.... One would never see the energy level n=2.8 for instance- that would be the case if it were continuous rather than a line spectrum.

Is hydrogen red in the electromagnetic spectrum?

There are two very narrowly separated lines in the excitation spectrum of hydrogen at about 656 nm, which is in the red region of the spectrum. The energy corresponds to a transition from n=3 to n=2 (Balmer series). These are far and away the most intense lines in the visible region of the spectrum, but there is also a line in the blue-green region, and several in the violet part. The overall color of a hydrogen lamp (analogous to a neon lamp, but with hydrogen instead) is a sort of fuchsia or magenta color. See the link in the "related links" section for a picture.
