The atom can't absorb more than 10eV as the photon doesn't have enough energy.
So what do you think?

It cant absorb any energy since there isnt an exact value so the answer is 0eV

energy levels and photons are discrete and electrons and photons interact in a 1:1 ratio. therefore the photon must have the exact amount of energy as the energy level for the electron to absorb energy
