    A static charge.
  • B
    A moving charge.
  • An accelerating charge.
  • D
    Chargeless particles.

Answer

Correct option: C.
An accelerating charge.

A static charge produces an electrostatic field. A moving charge produces a magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves are produced by an accelerating charge.
