Answer:

option (B) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of nuclear reactors first the nuclear energy is emitted due to the nuclear fission of heavy elements.

This nuclear energy is emitted in the form of heat energy.

This heat energy is used to rotate the turbines, that means it is converted in the form of mechanical energy and then finally this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
