B. Heating gas to create plasma can yield free electrons.

Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas but with some important differences, including the presence of free electrons and positively charged ions. When a gas is heated to high temperatures, the thermal energy can ionize some of the gas particles, stripping away one or more of their electrons and creating free electrons and positively charged ions. This ionized gas is referred to as a plasma
