It is theorized that a pulsar only emits X-rays and visible light during its early history. What do you suppose is the basis of this theory?

A. As the pulsar's energy dissipates, the frequency of the energy it emits drops.
B. X-rays are likely the result of radioactive decay, which only can occur in a pulsar's early history.
C. The pulsar's high rate of spin produces a magnetic field that, over time, slows the pulsar down.
D. X-rays and visible light are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
