The correct answer is C. Geosphere-Hydrosphere-Biosphere

Explanation:

The geosphere refers to the materials in and under the surface it such as rocks, minerals, among others that are part of the Earth. On the other hand, the hydrosphere covers all water bodies such as rivers, oceans, waterfalls, etc. And the biosphere includes all forms of life.

In this way, in the case presented, there is an interaction between the Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere as the gold extracted and the use of mercury to extract this belong to the Geosphere, additionally the streams and bodies that were contaminated belong to the Hydrosphere and the animals and people affected by this situation are part of the Biosphere.

Information about how electricity generated from waves​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

As the wind passes over the surface of the oceans, a portion of the winds kinetic energy is transferred to the water below, generating waves.The kinetic energy of the wave turns a turbine attached to a generator, which produces electricity.The wave energy is absorbed by radiating a wave with destructive interference to the incoming waves. Buoys use the rise and fall of swells to generate electricity in various ways including directly via linear generators, or via generators driven by mechanical linear-to-rotary converters or hydraulic pumps.
