An old-fashioned metal toy is shown below. When the candle is lit, the carousel of horses begins to rotate. Which statement correctly describes the kinetic energy that makes the carousel move?

• Thermal energy from the candle currents of warm air.

• Sound energy from the flame causes vibrations to the top.

• Light energy from the candle produces electrical energy.

• Radiant energy from the flame heats the metal, causing it to move.
