Solution

The correct option is A Photovoltaic cells
Solar Photovoltaic cells work by converting sunlight into electric current. An Solar Photovoltaic cell is a semiconductor system made of silicon or similar materials. The system generates electricity when it is exposed to sunlight. Power is generated by connecting thousands of tiny solar cells which forms modules. The generated electricity will be in dc form which can be converted into Alternating Current form sing DC to AC converters called inverters.
