The correct answer is

b. low frequencies and low energy.

In fact, microwaves and radio waves have frequency up to \(10^{10}-10^{11} Hz\), which are really low compared, for instance, to the frequency of gamma rays (\(10^{20} Hz\)). Moreover, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency:

\(E=hf\)

where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency; therefore, low frequency means also low energy.
