The burning candle releases heat (thermal) and light energy. They're both radiant.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, thermal and radiant

Explanation:

When a candle burns, its chemical energy gets transformed into heat energy and light energy. Thus the heat energy is the thermal component of the energy released by a candle while light energy being radiated in different direction is a form of radiant energy. However, along with light energy, heat energy is also radiated in different directions.
