Option c is correct( Specimens are placed in a vacuum. )

Explanation: A transmission electron microscope, commonly known as TEM is one of the types of microscope that uses electrons to view the structure of cells or tissues. Since TEM uses electrons to form images, specimens must be placed in a vacuum in order for the electrons to reach and capture the specimen.
