Options

A. Both electric and magnetic field vectors attain the maxima and minima at the same place and same time
B. The energy in electromagnetic wave is divided equally between electric and magnetic vectors
C. Both electric and magnetic filed vector are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave
D. These waves do not require any material medium for propagation
