Solution
The correct option is B ocean thermal
The energy in the ocean waves is a converted form of concentrated solar energy. The energy which comes from the sun heats up the ocean water. But, since the deeper we go into the ocean, the lesser the sunlight reaches the point; the deeper layers of the ocean would be colder than those near the surface.
This difference in temperature causes heat to flow among these layers by convection which can be utilised to harness energy.
