Chemistry

A gasoline-powered generator is used to provide lighting for a house.
Which sequence describes the conversions of energy from the generator to the light bulb?
A. Electrical energy, generated as the electrons move through the wire, changes to chemical energy as the gasoline is burned. The chemical energy changes to mechanical energy from the generator which then changes to light energy seen from the light bulb.
B. Mechanical energy from the generator changes to chemical energy from friction between the moving parts in the generator. This chemical energy changes to electrical energy as the electrons move through the wire and is changed to light energy seen from the light bulb.
C. Thermal energy from friction between moving parts in the generator changes to mechanical energy from the generator. The mechanical energy is changed to chemical energy as the gasoline is burned and is changed to the light energy seen from the light bulb.
D. Chemical energy within the gasoline changes to mechanical energy as the generator's parts begin to move. The mechanical energy is changed to electrical energy, generated as the electrons move through the wire, and changes to to light energy seen from the light bulb.
