Solution

The correct option is C A body can emit less or more than a quantum of energy
PLANCK'S QUANTUM THEORY
According to planck's quantum theory :
1.The radiant energy emitted or absorbed by a body not continuously but discontinuously in the form of small discrete packets of energy and these packets are called quantum.
2.In case of light, the smallest packet of energy is called as 'photon' but in general case the smallest packet of energy called as quantum.
3.The energy of each quantum is directly proportional to frequency of the radiation
4.Total amount of energy transmitted from one body to another will be some integral multiple of energy of a quantum.
