Solution

The correct option is B Photosynthesis
Electromagnetic energy is the same as radiation or light energy. This type of kinetic energy can take the form of visible light waves, like the light from a candle or a light bulb, or invisible waves, like radio waves, microwaves, x-rays and gamma rays. Further, irrespective of where radiation is coming from, it can travel in a vacuum. The electromagnetic energy in plants can be converted to stored chemical energy during photosynthesis.
