Solution

The correct options are
C
wind energy to electrical energy

D
kinetic energy to electrical energy

As dams are not used, there is no gradient in the height of water at any level, which implies there is no generation of potential energy. On the other hand, as turbine is used, the kinetic energy of the water directly gets converted into electrical energy.
