Answer: b. Ultraviolet Light

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is defined as the wave which is associated with both electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They can travel in vacuum as well and travel with the speed of light.

The electromagnetic radiations consist of radio waves, microwaves, infrared ,Visible , ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays arranged in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelengths.Thus ultraviolet light has more energy than visible light as energy and frequency are directly proportional.

Ultraviolet Light is more energetic than visible light, and have potential to damage skin cells and lead to skin cancer.
