Solution

The correct option is D Hydropower

Geothermal power plants utilise the heat energy that emanates from the core of the Earth.

Nuclear energy mainly depends upon the energy released when the nucleus is subjected to nuclear reactions.

Wind power plants use large turbines that rotate and capture the energy from this movement.

In a hydroelectric power plant, more electrical power can be generated if water falls from a greater height because a larger amount of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
