Solution

The correct option is B
Kinetic energy to electric energy

The waves are generated by strong winds blowing across the sea.The kinetic energy possessed by huge waves near the sea shore can be trapped to generate electricity.Wave energy would be a viable proposition only where waves are very strong.A wide variety of devices have been developed to trap wave energy for rotation of turbine and production of electricity.
