Solution
The correct option is C chemical energy
Answer is C.
A match is a tool for starting a fire. Typically, modern matches are made of small wooden sticks or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that can be ignited by frictional heat generated by striking the match against a suitable surface. Wooden matches are packaged in matchboxes, and paper matches are partially cut into rows and stapled into matchbooks. The coated end of a match, known as the match 'head', contains either phosphorus or phosphorus sesquisulfide as the active ingredient and gelatin as a binder.
Hence, the match head of a safety match contains chemical energy.
