Correct Answer: Tidal energy

 


Solution : The correct answer is (C) Tidal energy

Tidal energy is a non-conventional energy source that relies on the tides. It harnesses the kinetic energy of ocean tides and converts it into electricity. Tidal energy is generated by using turbines or other devices that capture the energy of the moving tides. As the tides rise and fall, the movement of water spins the turbines, which then generate electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power as it is driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. It has the potential to provide a consistent and predictable source of energy, especially in coastal areas with significant tidal ranges.
