Solution
The correct option is B electrical energy In thermal power plants, the thermal energy is released due to the burning of coal. As the coal gets burned, the steam of very high temperature and pressure is generated. Thus the kinetic energy of the steam drives the turbine. Finally the generator connected to the turbine rotates and thereby produce electrical energy.
