Right CHOICE is (b) Radiating SOURCE

To explain: The function of the radiation source is to provide a sufficient intensity of light which is suitable for making a measurement. The most COMMON and convenient source of light is the TUNGSTEN lamp. This lamp CONSISTS of a tungsten filament enclosed in a glass envelope. It is cheap, intense and reliable.
