Solution
The correct option is A Geothermal energy
The energy generated and stored inside the Earth’s crust is known as geothermal energy.Due to geological changes, molten rocks formed in the deeper hot regions
of the earth’s crust are pushed upward and trapped in certain regions called hot spots. When underground water comes in contact with the hot spot,
steam is generated. Sometimes hot water from that region finds outlets
at the surface. Such outlets are known as hot springs. The steam trapped
in rocks is routed through a pipe to a turbine and used to generate
electricity.
