Solution

The correct option is C kinetic, electrical
Water hits the turbine with a very high kinetic energy as it is coming from a greater height. Kinetic energy of water (as water is in motion) is used to rotate turbine. When the turbine moves, it generates electricity hence the kinetic energy of water is converted to electrical energy.
