Solution

The correct option is C high
The filament of bulb has high resistance so the filament heats up due to current passing through (I2R losses ) and due to its heating , the electrons change their energy states and photons in visible spectrum are emitted . more the losses , more would be the light.that's why filament of bulb offers high resistance.
