Answer:. Option c

Explanation: the speed of an electromagnetic wave is simply the vector product of the magnetic field and the electric field.

The direction of the velocity is the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave is already moving towards the negative y axis (-j) and the magnetic field is already pointing towards the positive x axis (i)

From cross product of unit vectors

i × j = k

i × k = - j

With the second identity, we can see that the electric field will be pointing towards the positive of the x axis (k).

Option c is validated

If you were trying to kill a fish with a spear, would you aim where you see the fish
34kurt
No, you would aim slightly above, because when you throw the spear and it travels through the air it will fall slightly downwards by the time it reaches the fish.
