There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". In general, however, if it is the nucleus that returns to ground state, then gamma ray emission is the mechanism. It it is the electron cloud the returns to ground state, then x-ray emission is the mechanism. The end result is the same - a photon is emitted with a certain energy - only the mechanism differs.

excited light is the light a chemical absorbs raising it from it's ground state to an excited state. Energy is released as heat and as light. Causes flourescence when chemical returns itself to its ground state. emitted light is the light emitted from the absorbing chemical. When this happens a substance(usually an organic) is emitting a light of longer wavelength after absorbing light of a shorter wavelength.

Just the opposite. As an electron returns to a lower energy level, it emits a packet (quantum) of energy that may be a visible photon.
