Jaden listed the similarities of using coal, natural gas, and petroleum to generate electricity.Coal, natural gas, and petroleum:– use turbines– require heat– convert electrical energy to kinetic energy– produce pollution in the form of smoke

In these power plants, heat produces motion that turns a turbine. The generator then converts the turbine’s kinetic energy into electrical energy, so choice C states the correct direction of conversion. The listed fuels can all be used with turbines and produce pollution, so the other choices contradict the similarities described.
