The correct option is D Interior of the earth
Geo-thermal power utilizes the heat in the Interior of the earth for the generation of power. Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials. Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations.
