The correct option is D
All of these

Light is made up of packets, or chunks, of light which Einstein called them photons. The photons have energy and they vibrate. Light travels as particles and waves and both have been proven. The double slit experiment showed that light behaved as a wave whereas the photoelectric effect, as well as the Davisson-Germer experiment, showed light as a particle.
