Explanation:

Tidal power refers to the power inherent in the solar and lunar gravitational effects on the ocean. These effects result in tides and create a current that is strong enough to drive turbines in order to generate electricity.

The tidal power consist of 3 main components:

• The barrage
• The sluice gate
• The turbine generator

The barrage holds water during high and low tides with the sluice gate specifically closing during low tide to create a water level difference that is utilized by the turbine generator to generate power.

The correct option is B.
