The correct answer is (a) Pelton turbine

Explanation: In the impulse turbine, all the potential energy or head is converted into kinetic energy or velocity head by passing the water through a contracting nozzle or by guide vanes before it strikes the buckets. Some types of impulse turbine are Pelton wheel, Turgo impulse wheel, and Girard turbine.
