The energy transformations are similar because they both involve transformations that **result in radiant energy**.
In both examples:
- The floor lamp transforms electrical energy from the outlet into radiant energy (light).
- The wood fire transforms chemical energy (from the wood) into radiant energy (heat and light).
Therefore, the correct answer is that both result in radiant energy.
