Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Option c is correct: The term “pumped-storage hydropower” relates to long-duration energy storage.

Water moves down from one reservoir to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine, and then requires power to be pumped back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
