The correct option is Mechanical energy is used to produce electrical energy.

The water stored in a dam at some height above the surface of earth has the gravitational potential energy. This potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the water starts moving. This running water hits the turbine which rotates and thus electricity is produced. So it is mechanical energy ( kinetic energy and potential energy ) that gets converted into electrical energy.
