Answer: Emerging

Step-by-step explanation:

Emerging technology refers to those that are either still in the development stage or are not practically applicable yet. These technologies are new and are only just arriving on the scene which is why they are called "emerging".

SunStrength Inc's tech is still new and it is still in the development stage which means that it is not practical or function. It is therefore an emerging technology.
