D)visible light,because it has milder wavelengths.
E)microwaves,because it has milder wavelengths.

Accepted Answer

Plants primarily use red and blue light for photosynthesis, which are both wavelengths in the visible light spectrum. Ultraviolet and gamma rays have wavelengths that are too intense and can damage the plants, while infrared and microwaves have wavelengths that are too mild to promote growth. Therefore, visible light is the best choice for growing plants indoors.
