The correct response is:
A. An accelerating electric point charge (electron) emits electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves are generated by the acceleration of charged particles, such as electrons. When these charges accelerate, they create changing electric and magnetic fields, which propagate as electromagnetic waves. The other options do not accurately describe the fundamental mechanism of electromagnetic wave production.
