A
$2.1 \, \times \, 10^{-8} \, T$
šŸ’” Explanation:

Given: The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is $25\ MHz$.

The electric field at the particular point is $6.3\hat j\ V/m$

To find: The magnetic field at that point.

The magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave at a point is given by:
$B = \dfrac{E}{c}\= \dfrac{6.3}{3 \times 10^8}\ \Rightarrow2.1 \times 10^{-8} T$

So, option $(D)$ is correct.
