Right option is (c) Pumped storage plants

Easiest explanation: During off-peak hours, the water is pumped back from the tailwater pool to the headwater pool for future use. The pumped storage plant is primarily meant for assisting an existing thermal plant or some hydel plant. They generate power during peak hours only.
