Which of these statements correctly describes the orientation of the electric field `(vec(E))` the magnetic field `(vec(B))` and velocity of propagation `(vec(v))` of an electromagnetic wave?

A

`vec(E)` is perpendicular to `vec(B),vec(v)` may have any orientation relative to `vec(E)`

B

`vec(E)` is perpendicular to `vec(B),vec(v)` may have any orientation perpendicular to `vec(E)`

C

`vec(E)` is parallel to `vec(B),vec(v)` is perpendicular to both `vec(E) and vec(B)`

D

Each of the three vectors is perpendicular to the other two.
