How does a thermal power plant work?

  • A
    It converts chemical energy of fuel into heat,then into kinetic energy of steam,and finally into electrical energy.
  • B
    It converts solar energy directly into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells.
  • C
    It uses the kinetic energy of flowing water to rotate turbines.
  • D
    It uses nuclear fission to generate heat for steam production.
