Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

'Derived' is the correct verb meaning energy obtained or drawn from the sun. We say solar energy is derived from the sun. 'Given' is too passive - energy isn't simply given; it's extracted or obtained. 'Enabled' doesn't make sense in this context. 'Took' is incorrect grammar and meaning - we don't say energy is 'took' from a source.
