I just took the test its A

Answer:

a. It is used to turn water into steam.  

Explanation:

Nuclear fission occurs when an atom splits. Therefore, a nuclear plant provides power to buildings through a process in which the heat generated by the reactor core produces steam. As a result, such steam turns a turbine, which finally powers a generator.
