The correct option is A

1. About $65\%$ of India's total electricity consumption comes from thermal power plants, $22\%$ from hydroelectric power plants, $3\%$ from nuclear power plants, and the remaining $10\%$ from alternative energy sources such as solar and biomass.
2. Hydroelectricity currently accounts for about $22\%$ of India's total power generation.

Hence, correct option (A) a little more than $23\%$
