The correct response is: **potential to kinetic to electrical**.
In a hydroelectric dam, water stored at a height has potential energy. When the water is released, it falls and converts this potential energy into kinetic energy as it moves. This kinetic energy is then used to turn turbines, which generate electrical energy.
