Please provide explanation to answer

Em-e. An EM wave propagating in vacuum, with electric field amplitude E> 0 and magnetic field amplitude Bo > 0, has wavenumber k and angular frequency w. The following is a list of possible pairs of the electric (E)
and magnetic fields (B):
LE
= En cos(kz+wt)k, B =B₁ cos(kz+wt)
11. E = E, cos(ky-wt)k, B = Bo cos(ky-wt) i
III. E =-E cos(kz+wt)j, B=B₁ cos(kz+wt)k.
Which among the choices below correspond to a physically realizable EM wave?
OA. I only
OB. Il only
OC. II and III only
O D. Ill only
