A.
Kinetic energy --> potential energy --> electrical energy

B.
Chemical energy --> electrical energy

C.
Nuclear energy --> chemical energy --> electrical energy

D.
Gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy --> mechanical energy --> electrical energy

P.S Sorry if i ask a lot of questions im confused on my work!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The hydropower stations uses the energy from the falling water from the river or dam to generate electricity. The kinetic energy of the waves of water is used to move the turbine. This way the kinetic energy of water is converted into mechanical energy.
