The correct answer is:
B. chemical -> electrical -> light
In this scenario, the energy transformation begins with the chemical energy stored in the battery (or power source). When the circuit is complete, this chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which then powers the light bulb, resulting in the production of light energy.
