Solution

The correct option is A Potential energy possessed by stored water is converted into kinetic energy
The water stored in a dam possesses potential energy. When this stored water is allowed to fall down, the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy, which turns the turbine and finally rotates the armature of the generator to generate electricity.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
