The correct statement describing the energy transformations that take place when the lamp is plugged into the wall outlet 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 is accurate because the electrical energy supplied by the outlet is converted into light energy (produced by the lamp) and thermal energy (heat generated as a byproduct of the lamp's operation).
