June Kline · Answer 1

D. Electromagnetic waves from the sun have the same wavelength, but less energy.

Maverick · Answer 2

C. Electromagnetic waves from the sun have the same wavelength, but more energy.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves from the sun are far more dangerous due to the fact they have some much more energy. They're the same wavelength which is why they can be considered the same type of wave.
