Answer:

Paraguay generates much of its electricity with B) hydroelectric power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraguay generates more renewable energy in the world with hydroelectric power being number one. It is also the 4th-largest country in the world that exports electricity. In 2016, 70% of electricity was generated from hydroelectric power.

98% of the country's power is generated from just two plants; the Itaipu Dam and Yacyreta Dam. Again in 2016, Paraguay exported 70% of its generated power making revenue of USD 2 billion and this accounted for 7.7% of the country's revenue. The two plants are shared with Brazil and Argentina.
