Solution

The correct option is C Tidal energy uses the gravitational pull of the Earth, moon and sun to generate energy
Tidal energy uses gravitational pull of Earth, moon and sun to produce energy where as a wave energy uses kinetic forces of waves to generate electricity. The tides at shorelines of oceans will rise and fall about twice a day.
