Solution

The correct option is B accelerating electrons do not emit electromagnetic radiation.
Bohr's model was unable to explain line spectra of atoms containing more then 1 electron, zeemen effect, stark effect and why accelerating electrons do not emit energy.

The Bohr atom, in structure, is not very different from the Rutherford atom - you have an electron going around the nucleus in a circular orbit. So even in the Bohr model, the electron must experience some centripetal acceleration. Why is there no radiation in that case, like in the Rutherford's model?
