Answer:

B. Nuclear to Electrical

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.

  • When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
  • Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
  • This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
  • This in turn generates electricity.
