Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and the Central Electricity Authority classify hydro projects of up to 25 MW capacity as small hydro, with micro hydro (up to 100 kW) and mini hydro (101 kW to 2 MW) inside that range. The 1-100 kW and 100-1000 kW ranges therefore describe only micro and mini plants. A 50 MW ceiling exceeds the small hydro limit.
