Solution

The correct option is D hydroelectric
A hydroelectric plant consists of a reservoir of water which is allowed to fall onto a set of turbines. The turbines then rotate due to the high potential energy of the water, which then is used to generate electricity. So, the earth's gravity is crucial for the proper functioning of the hydro power plant.
