INFORMATION:

We have the next options

A. Solar

B. Nuclear

C. Hydroelectric

D. Wind

And we must select the one that does not use a turbine to produce electricity

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To select the correct one, we need to know that:

Turbines are used in wind power and hydropower. Turbines are very important because almost all electricity is produced by converting the mechanical energy of a turbine into electrical energy through a generator. In addition, The operation of a nuclear power plant is based on the use of heat to move a turbine by the action of water vapor, which is connected to an electric generator.

On the other hand, in the solar energy photovoltaic solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity by the so-called photoelectric effect, by which certain materials are capable of absorbing photons (light particles) and releasing electrons, generating an electric current.

Finally, that means, the one that does not use a turbine to produce electricity is solar energy.

ANSWER:

A. Solar
