  1. Tidal power

  2. Thermal power

  3. Solar power

  4. Geothermal power

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The process of collecting sunlight, converting it to electricity, and managing and distributing this electricity builds up excess heat that can damage spacecraft equipment. This heat must be eliminated for reliable operation of the Space station orbit. The Space station power system uses radiators to dissipate the heat away from the spacecraft. The radiators are shaded from sunlight and aligned toward the cold void of deep space.
