B Correct answer
Explanation

Power Generation Projects based on Wave Energy are not yet commercially established in India.

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) uses the difference between the temperatures of ocean water levels to run a heat engine and produce useful work, usually in the form of electricity.
India joined the tidal power wave with the approval of a commercial-scale tidal power plant in the Gulf of Kutch. 
Therefore, option (2) is the correct answer.
