Solution

The correct option is B Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy
Kinetic energy of flowing water is transferred to the blades of turbine, thus it rotates the turbine.
As the turbine rotates, it rotates the armature of the generator to produce electricity. So for production of electricity, mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy.
