Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

This is because incandescent bulbs convert a significant amount of electrical energy into heat rather than light, making them less energy-efficient. In contrast, compact fluorescent bulbs use less energy to produce the same amount of light and generate less heat.
