F
The lowest note seen above is a G, which is the bottom line. The space underneath the bottom line would be an F, because F comes before G in the alphabet. If we add a ledge line underneath that F, the note would be an E, since E comes before F in the alphabet.

On what space in the treble clef is the note E?

Note that the bottom line of the treble clef staff is E, and the top line of the bass clef staff is A. That space is for the notes between those two notes.
