Answer:

The answer is A. kinetic energy of moving water is converted to electrical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a hydroelectric power station, the kinetic energy of the water collides with the hydraulic turbines converting it into mechanical energy which rotates the rotor of a generator; which makes this mechanical energy finally becomes electrical energy. This process is known as Hydraulic Energy, where water energy is used to create electricity.
