• A. electric energy
• B. chemical energy
• C. magnetic energy
• D. mechanical energy

Answer 1

The correct option is A

electric energy

Explanation of the correct answer: option(A)

1. In photovoltaic cells, the light energy is directly converted to electric energy.
2. Photovoltaic cells generate clean and green energy as no harmful gases such as Co₂, NO₂ etc. are released.
3. Also, no noise pollution is created.
4. The cost of solar panel incurred is only the initial cost i.e., purchase and installation.
