Answer:

C. Chemical energy is transformed to light energy and heat energy.

Explanation:

Here it is given that the fire is used for two objectives

1) To warm yourself

which means we need some thermal energy so that we get the warmth from it.

2) To see to read the book

here in order read the book we required light of sufficient intensity so here we require light energy for this.

so from above requirements of energy we can say that here the energy contained in the wooden block is converted into the above forms

Also we know that energy contained in the wooden block is in the form of chemical energy so here correct answer will be

C. Chemical energy is transformed to light energy and heat energy.
