Solution

The correct option is C

Nuclear reaction in the Sun emits energy in the form of light


Light is a form of energy and the Sun provides energy for life here on Earth through light and heat.​ The Sun produces light by a nuclear reaction called fusion. As atoms of hydrogen combine to form helium, they produce vast amounts of heat and light.​
