b
nuclear thermal mechanical electrical 

Answer:

Option (b)

Explanation:

A nuclear reactor is a set up in which nuclear fission takes place and then the energy released is used to generate electrical energy.

Initially the nuclear energy is released by the fission of Uranium or reactor fuel.

Now, this nuclear energy is used to heat the water, then the energy from the hot water or steam is used to rotate the turbine, finally the turbine rotate and the electrical energy is generated by the generator.

So, the correct sequence is

nuclear energy - thermal energy - mechanical energy - electrical energy
