Electromagnetic waves are produced by

Explanation: An accelerating charge produces a changing electric


field which in turn produces a magnetic field. These alternatively


changing magnetic and electric fields give rise to electromagnetic


waves. A static charge gives rise to only an electric field and a


moving charge creates a magnetic field so A. and B. are incorrect.
