Recently, the term "pumped-storage hydropower" is actually and appropriately discussed in the context of which one of the following?
A.Irrigation of terraced crop fields
B.Lift irrigation of cereal crops
C.Long duration energy storage
D.Rainwater harvesting system
Correct Answer: Option C
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage system.
It utilizes two water reservoirs at different elevations.
Water is pumped to the upper reservoir and released when electricity is needed, flowing down through a turbine to generate power.
This makes it suitable for long-duration energy storage.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
