Solution

The correct option is A
Hydro electric plant

The efficiency of thermal and wind power plants reduces over time faster as compared to hydroelectric power plants. Nuclear power plants also need maintenance over time. The components of a hydroelectric power plant including turbine, generator and the concrete dam are so resilient in construction that their life may be as long as 100 years or even longer.
