  1. Sun

  2. Electricity

  3. Wind

  4. Plants
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sun is called the ultimate source of energy because it is the source of almost all energies of the earth. Plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy (food) by the process of photosynthesis. Animals eat plants and use that same chemical energy for all their activities.

So, the correct answer is 'Sun'.
