are you sure this is correct
Yes, I am confident that the answer is correct. In a smoke alarm, electrical energy (from the battery or mains power) is used to operate the components of the alarm, including the circuitry that detects smoke. When smoke is detected, the alarm emits a loud sound to alert people, which is an example of electrical energy being transformed into sound energy.
So, the transformation that occurs when a smoke alarm goes off is indeed D. electrical to sound.
