Solution

The correct option is B

Penstock pipes, turbine, and generator


The water stored at a height in a dam is released and it flows through penstock pipes to reach the turbine which is installed at a very low level. These turbines rotate using the kinetic energy of flowing water. It is connected to the generator and this makes generator work to generate electricity.
