Answer: C.have higher resolution that allows you to view smaller specimens.

An electron microscope is the outcome of advent of the technology. It utilizes electron beams to make the image of the object on a screen. It provides resolution several times higher than the light microscope. It can only be used to observe dead specimens as the energy released by the beam of electrons can kill living cells and other living specimens.

Therefore, on the basis of the above information an advantage of electron microscopes compared to light microscope is that they have higher resolution that allows you to view smaller specimens.
