Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Chemical energy.
· In thermal power plants, the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, or natural gas) is transformed into electrical energy. The process involves burning the fossil fuel to produce heat, which converts water into steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.
