Answer 1

The correct response is:

Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

While compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs and produce light with less wasted energy, they do still produce some heat. However, in general, they convert a higher percentage of electrical energy into visible light compared to incandescent bulbs, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat.
