Answer:

Option C,  It is turned by water to turn a wire inside a magnet.

Explanation:

In a hydroelectric power plant, the water is stored and then releases from greater heights which produce force enough to turn the turbine. These turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. With in the generator a wire is set between two magnets , which start rotating to produce AC current.  

Electricity produced by rotating wire fixed between the magnets is always an AC current. Therefore option B is incorrect.  

Option A and D is incorrect as in producing hydroelectric energy it is the water which is used to rotate the turbine and not the wind. Also only AC current is produced by the hydroelectric dam.

The biotic factors can be defined as those living elements of an ecosystem that affects the other members of the ecosystem and also shapes it. The examples include animals and plants. The abiotic factors can be defined as those elements which are non-living and have effect on the other components of the ecosystem. The examples include water, air, soil etc.

A rabbit having long ears in order to disperse heat is adapting to the abiotic factor, i.e. the heat.

The spines of cactus are an adaptation to another abiotic factor, water.

The bright red color of the petunia is to attract the hummingbirds for pollination. They are adapting to the biotic factor (hummingbird).

The blending ability of stick-bugs to hide in the trees is an adaptation to the biotic factor (predators).

The diving ability of the moth is an adaptation to the biotic factor bat, in order to escape predation.

The adaptation of the lizard to sun itself on the rock in order to stay warm is in response to an abiotic factor (heat).

Rzqust [24]

Initiating protective reflex actions  is not a role of the basal nuclei

Explanation:

A reflex is the “simplest response” to Stimulus. The two examples of reflex           are sneezing and blinking.  The main role of reflex is to produces a quick motor response.  Reflexes are “very fast” and most of reflexes not reach the brain.  Reflex can be understood as blinking of eyes from any danger.

The main role of sensory neuron is to carry impulse from receptors to the spinal cord and motor neuron carry impulses from the spinal cord to the effectors.
