B
Photons can only exhibit wave properties and never behave as particles.
C
The energy of a photon is independent of its frequency.
D
The photoelectric effect demonstrates that light can only behave as a particle.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The dual (wave-particle) nature of light is clearly indicated in the context of the photoelectric effect, where light is shown to exhibit both particle properties (photons) and wave properties (frequency and wavelength).
