Answer 1

C. Electric energy

Step-by-step explanation:

A generator is designed to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy and them electrical energy.

• It is an alternate source of electricity for most homes and industrial establishments.
• The source of energy for the generator is a fuel usually fossil fuels.
• This energy source is ignited and it produces heat energy which drives the motion of the pistons in the set.
• As the piston moves, an magnetic field is cut through by a conducting wire.
• This inducts the production of currents.
