Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Electrical energy from the outlet moves through the wire and will be transformed into light and thermal energy when the lamp turns on.

This statement accurately describes the process of energy transformation that occurs when a lamp is plugged in and turned on, where electrical energy is converted into light energy (to produce visible light) and thermal energy (as the lamp heats up).
