Answer:

b energy is being released from the atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeing light from fireworks implies that energy is being released from the atoms. This is an excitation as the electrons within the atom moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.

  • When electrons undergo this kind of transition, energy is released.
  • The radiation produced is dispersed out and it is seen as colorful lights.
  • Most times such processes are exothermic
