Answer 1

I just took the test its A

Answer 2

a. It is used to turn water into steam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fission occurs when an atom splits. Therefore, a nuclear plant provides power to buildings through a process in which the heat generated by the reactor core produces steam. As a result, such steam turns a turbine, which finally powers a generator.
