Answer 1

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The friction generated heat to release chemical energy because the same same thing happens with fluorescent and sodium vapor lamps; heat causes the (low-pressure) mercury/sodium vapor gas lamp to cause a lot of heat energy resulting in the same thing happening when you strike a match.
