Answer: C. Full step-by-step solution below.

A $in opposite phase and perpendicular to each other$
B $in opposite phase and parallel to each other$
C $in phase and perpendicular to each other$
D $in phase and parallel to each other.$

Correct answer: C

Solution

(c) In electromagnetic wave, electric and magnetic field are in phase and perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave.
