Solution

The correct option is A Kinetic to potential to mechanical to electrical
First of all moving water is stored against a dam and then it is allowed to fall on turbine and then as turbine rotates it will produce electricity.
So sequence of energy conversion is
Kinetic to potential to mechanical to electrical.
Hence option A is best possible.
