Answer:

D. light bulb is the most appropriate answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In an electric circut, presence of light bulb would convert the electric energy (flow of electrons) into light energy (photons). It will also resist the flow because to glow a bulb, electric energy will be required. This principle is also applied to all home based appliances where electric energy is used for several purposes.

Up to some extent, flow of electric energy in copper wires will also result in the loss of energy in the form of heat which is due to natural resistance of metal atoms.
