The correct response is:

A An accelerating electric point charge (electron) emits electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are produced when charged particles, such as electrons, are accelerated. This acceleration creates changes in the electric and magnetic fields, which propagates through space as electromagnetic radiation.
