The correct statement that describes the energy transformations 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 is accurate because lamps convert electrical energy into light energy (which is emitted as visible light) and thermal energy (which is often felt as heat).
