The correct response is:
C visible light has higher energy than microwaves.
Visible light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to microwaves, which corresponds to a higher energy according to the relationship \( E = h \cdot f \), where \( E \) is energy, \( h \) is Planck's constant, and \( f \) is frequency.
