The generator is called a 'generator' because it 'generates' something
that wasn't there before.

The power plant uses water, steam, or wind, to spin a turbine, and
the generator transforms the mechanical energy of the turbine into
electrical energy (which wasn't there before).        (Choice-B)

B. The generator transforms the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy.

Note that a generator uses mechanical energy to turn the wire loop in the magnetic field. This causes electric current to flow, creating electrical energy.
