Lightning is nothing but
- A. electric discharge
- B. electricity
- C. electro - magnetic discharge
- D. magnetic effect
Step-by-step solution
Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during a thunderstorm, typically between electrically charged regions of a cloud or between a cloud and the ground. It is primarily an electric discharge, not merely electricity in general, nor an electromagnetic discharge (which is a broader term), nor a magnetic effect.
