Answer: C. causes thermal energy

Explanation: Resistance in wires basically creates obstruction in the path of the current flow.

This obstruction results in a collision for the charge carrying electrons. This collision thus converts the kinetic energy of the electrons into thermal energy in the form of heat.

Resistance reduces the amount of current flowing through a conductor and hence less current means less power resulting in loss of brightness.

To move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy. Electrons are said to be quantized because they need a quantum of energy to move to a different sublevel. ... When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels.
