• A. tidal energy
• B. wind energy
• C. solar energy
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

none of these

Explanation for the correct option-

Option (D)

1. The energy available due to the difference in the temperature of water at the surface of the ocean and at deeper levels is called ocean thermal energy.
2. This (ocean thermal energy) is not given in our option which is why none of these is the correct option.

Explanation for the incorrect options-

1. Option (A) Tidal energy- It is the power produced by the surge of ocean water during the rise and fall of the tide.
2. Option (B) wind energy- It is the energy of wind.
3. Option (C) solar energy- This energy is the radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat and causing chemical reactions.
