Solution

The correct option is C All of these
Energy can be harnessed from an ocean in two ways - i) exploiting the mechanical energy of wave or tide
ii) using the temperature difference between the surface water and deep seawater.
Tidal energy and sea-wave energy are harnessed using the first way. Ocean thermal energy (OTE) is harnessed using the second way.
