The correct option is D solar energy

Solar cell is a device which directly converts solar energy into electric energy.
A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light(sun) directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current, voltage, or resistance, vary when exposed to light. Solar cells are the building blocks of photovoltaic modules, otherwise known as solar panels.
