Correct Answer: Both statements are true.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both statements are true.

Statement 1 accurately describes hydropower as a renewable source of energy that utilizes the energy of flowing or falling water to generate electricity. Hydropower is considered renewable because water is naturally replenished through the water cycle.

Statement 2 complements Statement 1 by explaining the process of converting the energy of water into electrical energy. Dams are constructed to create a reservoir, and turbines are used to capture the potential and kinetic energy of the water, which then rotates the turbine and generates electricity.

Both statements provide accurate information about hydropower and its generation process.
