A power plant where the heat required to make steam to drive turbines to make electricity is obtained by burning fuels is called-

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Thermal power plant.
· A thermal power plant generates electricity by burning fuels such as coal, natural gas, or oil to produce heat. This heat is used to convert water into steam, which then drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
Information Booster:
· Nuclear Power Plant: Generates electricity through nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom splits to release a large amount of energy, which is used to produce steam and drive turbines.
· Hydroelectric Power Plant: Generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which are connected to generators.
· Solar Power Plant: Uses solar panels or mirrors to capture energy from the sun, which is then converted into electricity, either directly (as in photovoltaic cells) or by heating a fluid to produce steam.
