When an electric bulb breaks, there is an explosive sound. That is due to

A The chemical reaction between the gases inside the bulb
B The compressed gases inside rushing out suddenly
C The air outside rushing in to fill the vacuum inside the bulb
D None of these

Correct Answer: The air outside rushing in to fill the vacuum inside the bulb

The inside of the bulb being a vacuum, the outside air rushes in when the bulb is broken. The vibrations of the rushing air molecules produce the sound.
