Solution

The correct option is B
Waste to energy units

Waste to Energy facilities use waste as a fuel for generating power, just as other power plants use coal, oil, or natural gas. The burning fuel helps in conversion of water into steam that drives a turbine to generate electricity. The waste when burnt results in thermal energy which is then transformed into electrical energy, usually by turning a turbine.
