Answer:

d) True light is the two fluctuating perpendicular fields

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve Maxwell's equations for this system, it results in a traveling wave that is perpendicular to the two fields.

Let's analyze the affirmations

a) False. The light needs both fields

b) False violates Lenz's law

c) False. The two fields are perpendicular

d) True two fluctuating perpendicular fields

e) Falos needs both fields

Correct answer d)
