''Kinetic energy in the motion of water is converted to electricity'' this statement describes the principles on which tidal energy works.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Tidal energy is the energy which is formed because of the affect of gravity of sun and moon on the ocean. This energy can be converted into the electricity with the help of the generators that are installed in the areas experiencing high tidal energy which catch the kinetic movement of the forward and backward flow of ocean tides which convert it into electricity.
