Answer:

C. Turbine

Step-by-step explanation:

Most power-generation technologies use a form of turbine to create electricity. The turbine is forced to spin because of an external force applied to its blades, and that movement against a fixed generator created electricity.

In a gas or steam plant, the gases force the movement of the turbine.

In water-based plants, it's the water pushing the blades (like in a dam).

In a wind turbine, it's the wind pushing the blades.

And so on.
