Solution

All of the given options (Electronic transition, Vibrational transition, Rotational transition) are processes by which molecules can absorb radiation. Therefore, the answer is b. All of the above.

Here's a brief explanation of each:

a. Electronic transition: This occurs when an electron in a molecule absorbs energy and moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.

b. Vibrational transition: This is when a molecule absorbs energy and moves from one vibrational level to another.

c. Rotational transition: This happens when a molecule absorbs energy and its rotational motion changes.

Each of these transitions requires a specific amount of energy, which corresponds to a specific wavelength of radiation.
