Answer:

Bright red light.

Step-by-step explanation:

The light when strikes on an object has the ability to show the photoelectric effect. Different light has different wavelength that determines their photoelectric effects.

The ultraviolet light emit the large amount of energy whereas the redllight emits the least amount of energy. The bright red light is least likely to produce the photoelectric effect.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
