Examples of electromagnetic energy and electromagnetic radiation includes, visible light, radio waves, X-rays, gamma rays and Sunlight

While electrochemical energy is the energy through which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy and electrical energy is converted into chemical energy. Electrochemical energy has to do with batteries, super and ultra capacitors and electrochemical cell.

Since the filaments electrical setup does not comprise of an electrochemical cell and light is not a form of chemical energy, therefore, technician A only is correct.
