The answer is A. Gas atoms subjected to electricity emit bright lines of light. This shows why particles behave like a way .This is the reason why we see the lightning's color. Lightning comes from the static energy and it interacts with the gas atoms.

D. Gas atoms heated at high temperature emit white light. This happens when the atoms and molecules that contain a hot gas emit a certain light with wavelengths that produce a white light and bright lines. Light has a continuous spectrum that passes from one color to another without interruption.
