i would say C. the reaction in a firework occurs almost instantaneously, and this in turn requares a large amount of ebergy composed to a candle, which uses energy at a slow and steady pace

I would say option A - The reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firework exploding is a regular chemical reaction chain which ones started does not stop till the chain is complete. The action is rapid and cannot be stopped in the middle as compared to candle burning.
