The condition under which a microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently is

  • A
    The frequency of the microwaves has no relation with the natural frequency of water molecules.
  • B
    Microwaves are heat waves,so they always produce heating.
  • C
    Infra-red waves produce heating in a microwave oven.
  • D
    The frequency of the microwaves must match the resonant frequency of the water molecules.
