C ,The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hoover dam in Nevada generate the electricity by the hydroelectric power . it is the form of energy. Its provides 96% of the renewable energy in the united states : it power comes from the water. When the water is falling on the turbine it experience the force of gravity.

It is used to turn turbine and generators that produce electricity; to generate electricity the water is in motion, it experiences the potential energy. When the blades turns it experiences the mechanical energy then into form to electrical energy. The potential energy is depends on the two factors that is mass of the dam and the height of the dam.
