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


Explanation:

     Pumped-storage hydropower is a method of energy storage where water is pumped to a higher elevation reservoir during periods of low electricity demand, and then released through turbines to generate electricity during peak demand periods.

     This process essentially stores energy in the form of potential energy of water and then converts it back to electrical energy when needed.

     This makes it an ideal solution for long duration energy storage.

The other options are not directly related to the core function of pumped-storage hydropower

The answer is: (c). Long duration energy storage
