Which best contrasts electric doorbells and audio speakers?

An audio speaker produces sound as its current rapidly changes in strength and direction, making the speaker cone vibrate. A typical electric doorbell uses current to energize an electromagnet when its button closes the circuit; it does not rely on rapid reversals of current direction. Both devices need a complete circuit to operate, so choices C and D do not make the right distinction.
