Solution
The correct option is C Spreads
'Radiate' means to diverge or spread from or as if from a central point.
"he ran down one of the passages that radiated from the room"
In this context, "Most energy from an earthquake radiates out from the epicentre in the form of seismic waves", 'radiates' means spreads. Hence, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
