Answer: The correct answer is option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric motor is an electrical device which converts an electrical energy into mechanical energy.The energy transformation which occurs in operating electric motor:

Electrical Energy → Mechanical Energy

For example ;In a table fan electric motor is present. This electric motor rotates the fan blades when electricity is passed through it. This movement of fan blades is due to the change of an electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Hence, the correct answer is option(1).
