Solution

The correct option is B Replenishable
Energy generated from tides is called tidal energy. Tidal energy can be harnessed by building dams at narrow openings of the sea. During high tide the energy of the tides is used to turn the turbine installed in the dam to produce electricity. In India, the Gulf of Kachchh provides ideal conditions for utilising tidal energy.
