CORRECT ANSWER: nuclear to thermal to mechanical to electrical (D) because of the order of the series of conversions. 1.) nuclear energy generates the thermal energy 2.) converts to power 3.) movement creates mechanical energy 4.) something like a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Basically one big energy chain reaction.
