Hello,

The answer is option C "electrical energy".

Reason:

Solar panels are used to produce electricity for a home. Also light energy from the sun hits the solar panel transforming the light energy into electrical energy therefore the answer is option C!

If you need anymore help fee free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
